Summary "Les oiseaux s'envolent et les fleurs tombent" by Elémir Bourges is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the turbulent backdrop of political upheaval in France, specifically during the Paris Commune, exploring themes of love, identity, and social unrest. The narrative introduces a complex tapestry of characters, notably Floris, a young man navigating the chaos of his origins and the tumult of the times. The opening of the novel presents a dramatic scene in Paris, where a man wandering through the Père-Lachaise cemetery encounters a surreal and violent atmosphere marked by flames and the sounds of battle. The narrative quickly shifts to a dialogue that captures the essence of the Commune, with characters discussing the fate of a recently executed man and the ensuing frenzy of rebellion. A mysterious feverish character emerges, revealing connections to Floris and hinting at deep family secrets. As panic and joy blend amid the riotous backdrop, the scene sets the tone for a story steeped in existential contemplation against societal turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
