really profound work from Mauriac, It provokes really deep thought, as always, However, he is great
about not beating his point into the ground, This is a very short read that is reminiscent of the Prodigal Son and Alma the Younger Mosiahin The Book of Mormon even Corianton Almain The Book of Mormon.
There was a lot here for personal introspection, In addition, there was just some really great writing particularly the last few paragraphs of Chapter, WOW. I was also unexpectedly referred to some spectacular classical music that I will be adding to my collection, This is a book to reread in a few years, As always, it left me wishing so much that I could read the original French and understand it as well as the English translation The colloquial translation had to be pretty brutal work, but Gerard Hopkins does not disappoint.
This book is without a doubt the biggest waste of time of any book I've ever read, I'd rate it a zero if Goodreads would let me! A young French student's idealism attracts him to a charismatic leader but because he is from a welltodo family and the other followers are lower class he becomes disillusioned.
He is aimless and is unable to decide what to do with his life and becomes estranged from his friends, He is enamored with religion but does not feel worthy and he has a young woman in love with him but remains distant from her.
A fairly depressing story told at times in overly dramatic dialog, As expected, one more Nobel Prize book falls to the dropped shelf, A student longs for love but lives in self imposed isolation, Ce premier roman met en scène un petitbourgeois provincial suffisant et égoïste, JeanPaul Johanet, portrait en forme d'autocritique et caricaturé de François Mauriac à vingt ans.
JeanPaul partage sa vie parisienne entre la fréquentation désabusée des salons et l'engagement dans un mouvement catholique : "l'union Amour et Foi".
Tout d'abord fasciné par le meneur du mouvement, Jérôme Servet, et flatté par l'intérêt que celuici lui porte, il finira par s'en éloigner.
Dans le même temps, JeanPaul trouve une intense satisfaction dans la vénération que lui voue un jeune ouvrier, Georges Élie.
