Le Paysan parvenu is an unfinished novel by Pierre de Marivaux. Five parts by Marivaux appeared from May 1734 to April 1735,[1] and an ending was added by another writer. The work is supposedly the original for subsequent tales of poor boys of a heroic nature who have "made good". The change in style is noticeable from Marivaux's literary style to the more racy conclusion written by the other author.
