Messieurs les ronds-de-cuir
'Messieurs les ronds-de-cuir' Summary
Messieurs les ronds-de-cuir est une satire acerbe de la bureaucratie française et de la vie quotidienne des employés de bureau à la fin du XIXe siècle. L'histoire se déroule dans le service des Dons et Legs, où l'activité des fonctionnaires est minutieusement observée et dépeinte avec un humour mordant. Courteline expose avec une ironie mordante l'absurdité des règles, des procédures et de la mentalité des « ronds-de-cuir », ces employés anonymes et englués dans un système bureaucratique qui semble fonctionner à l'envers. L'œuvre dépeint un monde où la routine, le conformisme et le manque de sens dominent, et où les individus semblent avoir perdu tout contact avec la réalité.Book Details
