Summary "Mated from the Morgue: A Tale of the Second Empire" by John Augustus O'Shea is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the vibrant yet struggling Paris of the 1860s, the story follows Manus O'Hara, a young Irish man who grapples with poverty and desperation while finding unexpected companionship in a stray dog named Pat. The narrative delves into themes of survival, friendship, and the complexities of human and animal struggles amidst the backdrop of a bustling city. The opening of the book introduces us to O'Hara's precarious living situation in a garret, where he contemplates his dire financial state and enduring hunger. As he shares a meager meal with Pat, they form a bond as two lost souls. O'Hara's day unfolds with a mix of humor and sorrow as he navigates the lively streets and the grim realities of life, leading him towards the Morgue—a repository for the unclaimed dead—and a surprising encounter that sets the stage for further adventures. The early chapters establish both the hopeful yet harsh atmosphere of Paris and O'Hara's character, foreshadowing the emotional complexity and intrigue that will unfold in his journey.
