Family Bussardel
The novel is a family chronicle with a sequel. The events described in the novel unfold in Paris in the 19th century. and begin with the fact that in 1815, after serving in the French National Guard, Florent Bussardel, the son of a recently deceased prominent customs official, returns to the bosom of the family. He enters the service in the office of the stockbroker, where he quickly develops, so that his business goes up. He has two daughters: nine-year-old Adeline and five-year-old Julie. Soon two more twin sons are born – Ferdinand and Louis, At birth, his wife Lydia dies, and Florente remains alone with four children in his arms. At home and with children he is helped by Ramelo, a fifty-year-old neighbor, who later becomes almost a member of the family, and Batalista, a village girl, taken by Lydia for help in the war years.
Adeline grows up and studies in boarding school for noble maidens. Julie takes care of the brothers.

One day, playing with them in the Indians, she arranges a small fire in the apartment. Baptistina, not figuring out who is to blame, brutally shoves the twins. Subconsciously, she can not forgive them the death of their mother, to whom she was very attached. She’s fired.
Florand Bussardel’s companion, who was fooled by military deliveries, was imprisoned, and Bussardel bought his share in the office and became its sole master.
In 1826, the question arises about the marriage of Adeline. The father finds a party for her in the person of Felix Mignon, the son of one of the shareholders of the company, engaged in the resale of land in Paris. Adeline spoils the young man with her hypocritical speeches, and he falls passionately in love with the lively and charming Julie, who is not yet sixteen. Florent Bussardel agrees to marry his youngest daughter, and Adeline remains an old maid, explaining this to the fact that the twins need someone who would replace their mother and take care of them.
In the meantime, the office of the stockbroker Bussardel becomes one of the first in Paris, his business is
in full swing and there is a need to purchase an estate where the broker could invite friends to hunt. In 1832 Bussardel acquired the estate of Grantsi, where the whole family leaves during the cholera that raged that year in Paris. Ferdinand Bussardel, by that time turned into a temperamental sixteen-year-old boy, seduces in Grantsi a young dishwasher Clemence Blondo. This is his first experience in the field of love, and he costs the girl dearly: because of the operation to stop pregnancy, she subsequently becomes unable to have children and even in her youth dies of cancer. From his connection with Clemence, Ferdinand makes only the first acquaintance with this kind of pleasures and the desire to learn them again. He spends all his youth in the Latin Quarter in a grisette society, unlike his confidant Louis, a chaste and timid young man. By twenty years and in Ferdinand is a change. He is bored with his monotonous pleasures, and he decides to marry in order to obtain the status of a serious married man and become a worthy successor to his father. On the advice of loved ones, his choice falls on Teodorinu Bizyu, the daughter of the owner of a spinning mill, originally from Savoy. Four months after the family council, Theodorin becomes Ferdinand’s wife and so far the only Mrs. Bussardel. Soon married and Louis. The day after his marriage, Ramelo dies, she is buried in the family crypt of Bussardelles, where her lover Lydia was still lonely. Before she died, she could never forgive them the death of their mother, to whom she was very attached.

The day after his marriage, Ramelo dies, she is buried in the family crypt of Bussardelles, where her lover Lydia was still lonely. Before her death, she forgives Florent Bussardel for the fact that,
Florent Bussardel purchased for his son Villette’s mansion, and now Ferdinand lives there with his wife, who, having married, immediately becomes a mother and soon hopes that the child will not be the only one. Her first son, Victorin, given for a year to the village to a wet nurse, along with his dairy brother, gets sick with a croup, from which the latter dies.
Florent Bussardel, while not sharing his plans with anyone, buys up the land of the village of Monceau, at the permission of the king, now attached to Paris. As a result, a year and a half after the beginning of his activity Bussardel becomes the owner of all the plots he looked at, and only then decides to open his sons, who fully approved him.
In 1845, during the uprising in Paris, Ferdinand and Louis serve in the National Guard. The whole family: Florent Bussardel, Theodorin with three sons and daughter, and Laura, Louis’s wife, with the children, go to the “Terrace”, one of the plots in the village of Monceau, where Bussardel ordered the building of a peasant house for the temporary residence of his family. After the establishment of the Republic, the family returns to Paris, where they are already waiting for survivors in the exchanges of Ferdinand and Louis.
Years passed, filled in the family of Ferdinand Bussardel cares for Victorain, delivering parents a lot of anxiety because of their nature. His two brothers and three sisters tend to be much better. The second son in the family, Edgar, is silent and reasonable, weak in health and very similar to his mother. The youngest, Amori, – the poured out father, already in his young years shows extraordinary abilities in drawing. In 1854, Florent Bussardel went to the estate of his old friend Albare for the summer. At the end of the summer, Ferdinand, along with Victorin and Amory, also goes there. Victorinus is unusually noisy and restless, but still differs in stupidity, laziness and spiteful character. Ferdinand tries to apply to his son a new system of education and gives this difficult teenager the most pleasant living conditions, as if he is an exemplary boy,
The old Florent dies suddenly, without even having time to tell Ferdinand about the secret of his birth and his mother, Lydia. The plots purchased by the old man are rapidly growing in price, grandiose construction begins on them, the state of Bussardels is increasing every day. In Monson, near the park, Bussardeli and themselves erect luxurious mansions.
At twenty-two and a half years, after sitting almost twice in each class, Victorin receives a matriculation certificate, and his parents marry him at Amelie, the daughter of Count and Countess Clapier. The honeymoon begins on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the town of Hyeres, where Edgar, Victoren’s brother, is treated for a chest disease, and there, too, at the mutual desire of the newlyweds, and ends. Amelie, making friends with Edgar, tells him about her life and about the circumstances of her marriage: she was brought up in a monastery for a long time, and when the parents came to take her from there, they expressed a desire that Amelie become a nun, because of her brother’s unsuccessful transactions remained without a significant part of the state and had no opportunity to give the daughter a proper dowry. However, after the outbreak of the scandal caused by the violence of the parents, about which many of their acquaintances learned, Clapier was forced to take her daughter from the monastery and find a party for her, but not give a dowry. That’s why Amelie agreed to marry Victorine; she would go for anyone, just to escape from the hypocritical and oppressive care of the family. The first child is born to Amelie only a few years after the marriage, and then after a long treatment, which became necessary due to the rude treatment of her Victorina in the first days after their wedding. Relations with the father-in-law at Amelie are very warm. Soon, despite her young age, Amelie becomes the real “mother” of the whole Bussardele family. In 1870, when riots begin in Paris, she takes all the offspring of Ferdinand and Louis Bussardell to Grancy, where she makes every effort to ensure that her relatives know nothing about the need. Theodorin dies the same year. After returning to Paris, Amelie has a third child. In the nanny she takes Aglaya, the wife of Dubois, the servant of Victorinus, who by her exceptional devotion wins Amelie’s affection. However, after Victoren agglomerates Aglaya to become his mistress and Amelie finds out about it, she is fired and driven out of the house. Amelie, whose dignity is deeply hurt, decides to divorce her husband, for after the death of her aunt, who left her a significant inheritance, can not materially depend on Victorin. For a start, she leaves for Grancy. Only the active intervention of Ferdinand avoids the divorce and the inevitable scandal and shame associated with it for the whole family. who by her exceptional devotion wins Amelie’s affection.

After a while, his aunt Victoriaen, Adeline, elder sister Ferdinand. Caring for her Amelie, she tells the secret of her husband. Adedina claims that Victorinus is not the son of Ferdinand, since the child of Theodorina and Ferdinand died in infancy from groats, and Victorinus was none other than the son of the nurse, whom she had out of fear replaced the offspring of the Bussardels. Amelie goes to the suburbs and there finds confirmation to Adeline’s words, but she does not tell anyone about it, not wanting to harm her children. Adeline, who begins to spread rumors further, puts Amelie in an expensive institution for the mentally ill, where in a few years she dies of old age. Amelie becomes aware of the reasons for this is not characteristic for Bussardell behavior and the appearance of her husband. From now on, its main occupation is to take care of, so Victoren did not shame his name outside the house. She again writes Doubot’s wife to Paris, and when she enters the venerable age, instructs her to find pliable maid-maidens for her husband. After the death of Ferdinand Bussardel, Amelie takes over the reins of the family and takes care of him with warmth and love, which draws to her all the younger generation and contribute to the prosperity of the family. By that time, both Louis and Julie Bussardel had gone to the grave. A little later Amelie married his sons to their “cousins”, thus instilling their offspring in the main genealogical tree trunk. In 1902, she already has four grandchildren. Victoren dies at the next visit to the brothel, and Aglaya helps Amelie hide this shameful fact from relatives. The crypt of Bussardelles is replenished by yet another dead man, and the family, which has grown considerably,
