Summary "Koditon: Romaani" by Hector Malot is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows an orphan boy named Remi, who believes he has a mother in a woman named Barberin until monumental changes unfold in his life. The narrative explores themes of family, identity, and struggle as young Remi faces the harsh realities of his upbringing. The opening of the novel introduces Remi, who reflects on his childhood in a poor village in central France, where he has been raised by Barberin and her husband. Despite never having met his biological parents, he finds solace in the love and care provided by Barberin. However, everything changes when news arrives that Barberin's husband has been injured at work, leading to a series of events that unravel their fragile stability. The tension escalates as financial struggles prompt Barberin to consider selling their cherished cow for money, highlighting the dire circumstances they face. Eventually, the story takes a pivotal turn when Remi's fate hangs in the balance, as discussions arise regarding his future—pushing him towards the harsh realization that he might be sent to an orphanage unless he is taken in by someone else.
