Summary "L'Histoire merveilleuse de Robert le Diable" by Thierry Sandre is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the character Robert, the son of a Duke of Normandy, who is marked from birth with a temperament that leads him down a path of mischief and destruction. The book explores Robert's transformation from a feared and rebellious youth into a repentant figure seeking redemption. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Robert as a troublemaking child who brings distress to his parents, particularly to his mother, the Duchess. Despite his earlier promise as the heir, Robert's violent behavior and defiance alienate those around him, even prompting the Duke to excommunicate him. Expelled from the family home and seeking a new path, Robert embarks on a journey toward repentance after reflecting on the negative trajectory of his life. His quest for redemption catalyzes a transformation as he takes on a disguise as a fool, only to become enmeshed in unforeseen heroic deeds during a major battle for Rome, leading to a narrative filled with themes of identity, morality, and the search for forgiveness.
