Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "La fortune de Fortuné : roman gai" by Pierre Billotey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to center around the main character, Fortuné Lorillard, a vagabond whose life is marked by misfortune and a tragic past filled with petty criminality. The opening sets up a humorous yet poignant narrative that suggests themes of class disparity and the human condition through the lens of comedy. The opening of the novel introduces us to Fortuné Lorillard as he rides in a third-class train compartment, where he is met with disdain by the other passengers due to his disheveled appearance and strong odor. Despite this, he is depicted with a certain depth, suggesting a past filled with potential and failure. As the story unfolds, Fortuné captures the attention of both the narrator and the other characters through a series of misadventures, setting the stage for humorous interactions and explorations of his aspirations and dreams amidst the struggles of his current life. His mysterious letter, which he seems desperate to recover, hints at an important plot point that will likely drive both his character development and the narrative forward.
