"Cousin Pons" follows the life of a poor, elderly musician and art collector who lives in Paris. Pons is devoted to his art but is largely overlooked by his more affluent relatives and society at large. His financial troubles lead to a cruel betrayal by those he trusted. The narrative explores themes of friendship, greed, and the invisibility of the marginalized, contrasting Pons’ genuine love for art with the self-serving nature of his relatives. The story serves as a poignant commentary on human relationships, illustrating the harsh realities of aging and social indifference in 19th-century France.
