| Summary |
"En Pénitence chez les Jésuites: Correspondance d'un lycéen" by Pierre-Paul Brucker is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. The work follows the experiences of a young boy, Paul Ker, as he transitions from a conventional lycée to a Jesuit school, detailing his thoughts and feelings about this transition and the people he encounters. The book presents a nuanced exploration of his personal evolution and reflections on discipline, education, and spirituality. The opening of the narrative introduces Paul, who is reluctant about being sent to study with the Jesuits after his father's decision. He shares his internal struggles and fears about losing his freedom and the daunting unknown of this new environment. As he begins this journey, Paul expresses anxiety through letters to his friend Louis, detailing his observations of the Jesuit environment and the new peers he meets. Despite his initial fears, he notes a surprising warmth and camaraderie among his new classmates and a stricter yet fair educational regime, setting the stage for his development over the course of the story.
