Summary: "The Marquis of Létorière" by Eugène Sue is a novel written in the mid-19th century. Set in a historical backdrop, the story revolves around the aristocratic character of the young Marquis Létorière and the challenges he faces due to his financial hardships and the lawsuits surrounding his family’s noble claims.

At the start of the story, we are introduced to a small tailor's shop in Paris, where Master Landry and his wife, Madelaine, are engaged in a heated discussion about their financial woes, particularly focusing on a debt owed to them by the charming Marquis of Létorière. As Madelaine decides to confront the Marquis herself, the scene is set for a clash between humble tradespeople and the nobleman who struggles with his own misfortunes.
