(4,558 Sterne; 26 Bewertungen)
Rodolphe, is really the Grand Duke of Gerolstein (a fictional kingdom of Germany) but is disguised as a Parisian worker. He can speak in argot, is extremely strong and a good fighter. However he shows great compassion for the lower classes, good judgment, and has a brilliant mind. He is at ease in all layers of society and so is able to understand their problems, and how the different social classes are linked. Summary by Michele Eaton (10 hr 12 min)

A SIX VOLUME SOAP OPERA?
AVID READER
(5 Sterne)
I suggest that the author goes far beyond good taste in his gratuitous description of the poverty stricken family. This seems to be his habit in several descriptive arenas. This did not bother volume 1, but it became a distraction in this volume. However. because of the superlative narration by Celine Major, I will at least start volume 3.

Almost as good as part 1. The narrator unfortunantly sounds a bit like a robot.
