"What makes it gripping reading is not only that it offers a rare view of 19th-century French society from the bottom up; it is also written from the perspective of a lifetime's experience. . . . He both suffers and celebrates his suffering as the price of his nonconformity. . . . A fascinating account." --Alan Riding, New York Times Book Review
"Linda Asher has now given Déguignet a splendidly faithful English voice: pugnacious, tetchy and opinionated." --David Coward, London Review of Books
"Never a dull moment in his company. Must be read." --Le Telegramme
