Margot is a novel written by Alfred de Musset, a French poet, playwright, and novelist. The story is set in 16th century France and revolves around the character of Margot, a beautiful and ambitious young woman who is determined to rise above her humble origins and become a queen. Margot is the daughter of a poor tailor who dreams of marrying into the royal family. She is intelligent, cunning, and manipulative, and she uses her beauty and charm to seduce powerful men and gain their favor. Margot's ambition leads her to become a mistress to the Duke of Guise, one of the most powerful men in France, and she soon finds herself embroiled in a dangerous political game of power and betrayal. As Margot navigates the treacherous world of court politics, she must also confront her own desires and the consequences of her actions. She is torn between her love for the Duke of Guise and her desire for power and status, and she must ultimately decide what she values most. Musset's Margot is a gripping tale of passion, ambition, and betrayal set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history. It is a timeless exploration of the human condition and the lengths to which people will go to achieve their dreams.Two unexpected events, the one ridiculous, the other serious, occurred almost at the same time. Gaston was one morning trying a horse, he had just purchased, in the avenue leading to the house, when a little boy, half covered in rags and almost naked, approached him resolutely and stopped before his horse. It was Pierrot, the turkey keeper. Gaston did not recognize him, and thinking he was begging, threw a handful of coppers into the boy's cap. Pierrot pocketed the money, but instead of moving away, he ran after the horseman and once more placed himself in front of his horse a few steps farther on. Gaston called to him two or three times to get out of the way, but in vain; Pierrot still followed and placed himself in the horse's path.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
