| Summary | "Les esclaves de Paris" by Émile Gaboriau is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Paris, exploring themes of poverty and social struggle through the lives of its characters. The main characters introduced are Rose Pigoreau, a young woman living in destitution, and Paul Violaine, a man grappling with despair and their shared hardships. The opening of the novel portrays a bitterly cold day in Paris as the young couple, Rose and Paul, navigate their grim reality in a decrepit boarding house called the Hôtel du Pérou. Rose, who is struggling with the burdens of poverty, plays with a deck of cards, seeking solace in their predictions about the future, while Paul expresses his despair over their situation. Their conversation reveals their dire financial straits, with the looming threat of eviction by their landlord. Just as they ponder their bleak future, they receive an unexpected visit from the enigmatic Père Tantaine, who offers to help in their time of need, but his intentions remain cloaked in mystery as he proposes a loan that sets off a chain of events shaping their fates.
