Title Le roman d'un jeune homme pauvre (Novel)
Credits Produced by Daniel Fromont
Summary "Le Roman d'un jeune homme pauvre" by Octave Feuillet is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Maxime, a young man who grapples with the complexities of poverty and familial obligation following the deaths of his mother and father. The narrative explores themes of personal loss, societal expectations, and the struggle for dignity amidst financial ruin. At the start of the novel, Maxime reflects on his troubled family dynamics, recounting his childhood in a noble household plagued by discord between his parents. His mother's persistent melancholy and his father's erratic behavior create an atmosphere of tension, resulting in Maxime's deep emotional struggles. After the death of his mother, Maxime learns of his family's financial demise, leading him to leave the comforts of his previous life and seek work as an intendant for a wealthy family. The opening sets the stage for a poignant exploration of resilience in the face of adversity as Maxime navigates his new reality marked by hardship and the burdens of supporting his younger sister, Hélène.
