About This Book

Un notario parisino vanidoso y acomodado, conocido por su porte, sus gafas y una nariz prominente, ve trastornada su existencia tras un golpe que altera su fisonomía. A partir de ese incidente se encadenan episodios cómicos y satíricos —cacerías, disputas sociales y malentendidos derivados de unas gafas y un catarro nasal— que exponen la fragilidad del prestigio y las convenciones del mundo elegante. La narración, presentada en capítulos episódicos, combina ironía y descripción costumbrista para explorar la importancia de la apariencia, la ambición y la hipocresía social.
