Produktbeschreibung
Novels of Paul De Kock Vol. XIII: Paul and his dog Vol. I captures the disorienting charm of public spectacle and fleeting encounters in a world where masks blur identity and desire. Amid the noise and glamour of a masquerade at the Op ra, the narrative uses a swirl of color, music, and perfume to mirror the unpredictable movements of affection and curiosity. Social interaction becomes a kind of performance, where gesture and appearance often conceal uncertainty or hope. Beneath the surface of festivity lies an exploration of illusion how individuals use disguise not only to deceive others but to escape themselves. The story delves into the shifting boundaries of flirtation and sincerity, showing how excitement can quickly unravel into confusion or self-reflection. The city s nightscape becomes a backdrop for unspoken questions about longing, recognition, and personal truth, framed by the fragility of connections formed in a space where nothing is entirely as it seems. Rather than resolve these contradictions, the novel allows them to linger.
Autorenporträt
Charles Paul De Kock was born on May 21, 1793, in Passy, Paris, to Jean Conrad de Kock. He became widely known in 19th-century France as a novelist whose works reached an unusually broad audience, owing to their accessible style and frequent use of humor, satire, and everyday life. Though his stories gained immense popularity and commercial success, especially among the lower and middle classes, they were often dismissed by critics for their perceived vulgarity and lack of refinement. De Kock focused on portraying the habits, desires, and follies of ordinary Parisians, often drawing from the familiar streets and neighborhoods that shaped his experiences. His books provided a comic and exaggerated reflection of urban life, filled with eccentric characters and situational mishaps. Beyond literature, he contributed to the cultural texture of the era by blending entertainment with social observations. He had children including Henry de Kock and Luis Casadesus, and among his grandchildren were Henri and Francis Casadesus. Charles Paul de Kock died in Paris on August 29, 1871, at the age of 78.
