About the Book

En los comienzos del otoño del año 1826, el abate Birotteau, personaje principal de esta historia, fue sorprendido por un chaparrón al volver de la casa donde había pasado la velada. Atravesaba, pues, tan rápidamente como sus carnes podían permitírselo la plazuela desierta llamada del Claustro, que se halla a espaldas del ábside de Saint-Gatien, en Tours. El abate Birotteau, hombrecillo de constitución apoplética y de unos sesenta años, había sufrido ya varios ataques de gota.

Además, en aquel momento acariciaba él su quimera, un deseo que tenía ya doce años de fecha, ¡un deseo de clérigo!, un deseo que se robustecía todas las noches y que ahora parecía próximo a cumplirse; en fin, el abate Birotteau se envolvía demasiado bien en la muceta de una canonjía para sentir la intemperie. Durante la velada, las personas habitualmente reunidas en casa de la señora de Listomère le habían casi garantizado su nombramiento para la plaza de canónigo a la sazón vacante en el capítulo metropolitano de Saint-Gatien, asegurándole que nadie la merecía como él, cuyos derechos, durante mucho tiempo olvidados, eran incontestables.
