The Vicar of Tours

pubOne.info present you this new edition. Early in the autumn of 1826 the Abbe Birotteau, the principal personage of this history, was overtaken by a shower of rain as he returned home from a friend's house, where he had been passing the evening. He therefore crossed, as quickly as his corpulence would allow, the deserted little square called “The Cloister, ” which lies directly behind the chancel of the cathedral of Saint-Gatien at Tours.
