The Elegant Criminal

Pierre Lacenaire, a murderer and thief, is beheaded in 1836. He delivers Allard his life narrative, penned while awaiting execution. He also begs Allard to care for Hermine, whom he's guardian for over a decade. In flashbacks, from the prison as Lacenaire writes, from Allard's study as he and Hermine read, and from other readers' memory after the book is published, we see Lacenaire's childhood as he stands up to bullies, including priests, his youthful thieving, his first murder, his brief army career, his seduction of a princess, and his affair with Avril, a young man who dies beside him.
