Summary "Ce que disait la flamme" by Hector Bernier is a novel written during the early 20th century. It explores themes of identity, ambition, and the struggles faced by the Canadian youth in their quest for meaning and purpose within the framework of their culture and responsibilities. The main character, Jean Fontaine, is introduced as a freshly graduated doctor grappling with his personal aspirations and the expectations of his affluent family. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Jean Fontaine's internal conflict following his recent achievement of becoming a doctor. Initially filled with pride and excitement, he quickly realizes that his triumph leads to a sense of emptiness and uncertainty about his future. As he reflects on his desires, he is torn between aspirations for scientific discovery and a yearning to engage with the less fortunate in his community. The narrative is complemented by the introduction of Lucile Bertrand, the daughter of one of his father's workers, who imparts to Jean the struggles of her ill father. This encounter highlights social disparities and foreshadows Jean's impending emotional journey as he navigates the complexities of love, ambition, and duty amidst a backdrop that emphasizes the importance of national pride and responsibility.
