Pierre Grassou is a painter, living in Paris in the first half of the nineteenth century. The short novel offers a witty, somewhat ferocious, portrait of a bad, though successful, painter. Mediocrity is of all times; that is the reason why Pierre Grassou reads so contemporary. Reading a bilingual version (English - German) of a French author's short novel is a way to improve your knowledge of a foreign language while having a general idea of what the Parisian society looked like two centuries ago.
