Summary "Mariages d'aventure" by Émile Gaboriau is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life of Pascal Divorne, a young and ambitious engineer who resigns from a prestigious position to seek his fortune and navigate societal expectations regarding marriage and success. The narrative sets the stage for exploring themes of love, ambition, and societal pressures as Pascal attempts to carve out a place for himself while managing the expectations of his family and friends." "The opening of the novel introduces Pascal Divorne, who unexpectedly resigns from his promising governmental career, much to the concern of his friends and family, particularly his father, M. Divorne. While his friend Eugène Lorilleux supports him, it is clear that Lorilleux has ulterior motives regarding Pascal's potential marriage to his younger sister. The tension between family expectations and personal ambitions is palpable, with M. Divorne lamenting his son’s decision, convinced it will ruin the family’s prospects. As Pascal returns home and reveals his surprising plans, the emotional stakes rise, setting the stage for the conflicts and relationships that will unfold throughout the story."
