Les enfants des Tuileries by Olga de Pitray
"Les enfants des Tuileries" by Olga de Pitray is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of two siblings, Irène and Julien de Morville, who navigate the societal norms and frippery of their time. Set against a backdrop of Parisian elegance, the narrative explores themes of vanity, childhood innocence, and the contrasting lives of children from different social classes. At the start of the novel, wemeet Irène, who is bored during a stay in the countryside and longs to return to the vibrant social scene of Paris, particularly the Tuileries. When her brother Julien arrives with news of their imminent return, they both excitedly anticipate the joys and frivolities that await them in the city. As they prepare for their return, their interactions with the children of the local gardener highlight their privileged upbringing and hint at the themes of vanity and social status that will be further explored as they transition to the Tuileries, where they must navigate friendships, rivalry, and the superficial values of their elite peers.
