Synopsis
Bouvard and P cuchet are two Chaplinesque copy-clerks who meet on a park bench in Paris. Following an unexpected inheritance, they decide to give up their jobs and explore the world of ideas. In this, his last novel, unfinished on his death in 1880, Flaubert attempted to encompass his lifelong preoccupation with bourgeois stupidity and his disgust at the banalities of intellectual life in France. Into it he poured all his love of detail, his delight in the life of the mind, his despair of human nature, and his pleasure in passionate friendship. The result is "a kind of encyclopedia made into farce," wholly grotesque and wholly original, in the spirit of Gargantua and Pantagruel , Don Quixote or Ulysses ., Bouvard and Pécuchet are two Chaplinesque copy-clerks who meet on a park bench in Paris.

Brought me back to my Tower Schaumburg days 1995-1996. This bag is most likely from 1998, the earliest bags have no website of course then the next edition has www plus Tower and finally they dropped the www around '98 and just left Tower.com. You didn't think you'd get a scholarly piece in eBay feedback. It happens. The item was packaged SUPERBLY and delivery was unbelievably fast. 5 star seller in every regardFollow-up from: 4***t- Feedback followed up by buyer.- Feedback followed up by buyer.Im from Mahopac we used to get Sweet Orr cargo pants from Wappingers the factory was there in the 70sReply from: joesrockstargear- Feedback replied by seller joesrockstargear.- Feedback replied by seller joesrockstargear.Thank you for the kind words!
