Description

Set against the sun‑baked streets of Tunis, the story follows a charismatic French expatriate who has made his fortune in the exotic bazaars of North Africa. He returns home with a taste for lavish living, eager to display his newfound wealth and status among his Parisian acquaintances. Yet the glittering façade soon meets the stubborn realities of old friendships, family expectations, and the lingering shadows of his past.

Through Daudet’s keen eye for detail, listeners are treated to vivid portraits of both bustling markets and the genteel salons of France, each scene infused with subtle humor and keen social observation.
