About this book

A Distinguished Provincial at Paris is by Honoré de Balzac. The book is part two of a trilogy whose part one, Two Poets, begins the story of Lucien, his sister Eve, and his friend David in the provincial town of Angoulême. Mme. de Bargeton and Lucien de Rubempré have left Angoulême behind and travel together upon the road to Paris.

Claude Vignon says journalism, so far from being in the hands of a priesthood, came to be first a party weapon, and then a commercial speculation, carried on without conscience or scruple. A speaker offers to pay in a lump for fifty short articles written straight off, and Finot gives Lucien an anecdote of the Keeper of the Seals.
