The Vicar of Tours
                                            
                            By Honoré de Balzac
                            
                                26 Nov, 2019                            
                            
                         
                                        
                                                                        A mild-mannered priest becomes the prey of powerful enemies, ecclesiastical, social and political. Abbé Birotteau is no intellectual giant, but he does try to get along with others honestly, and suffers when they take advantage of his shortcomings.
