About This Novel
Oscar graduated from high school and went to the suburban areas to look for job opportunities. Because of his vanity, Oscar boasted about his close relationship with the count on the public carriage, thus causing great trouble. His mother begged relatives and friends, which gave him the opportunity to go to Paris to study law and become an assistant in a notary office. But he couldn't resist the temptation, lost public funds in gambling, and was fired by his boss. Desperate, Oscar had no choice but to join the army, lost an arm in the war, received awards for meritorious service, and became a modern middle-class figure. The novel describes two common mistakes made by young people who have just entered society: talking nonsense and spending money randomly. It is still of educational significance today.
