Summary "L'affaire Larcier : roman" by Tristan Bernard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two military under-officers, Larcier and Ferrat, whose lives take a dramatic turn following a reckless gambling episode that leads Larcier into a precarious situation involving both financial loss and a grave accusation of murder. Themes of friendship, loyalty, and societal judgment are likely to unfold as the narrative progresses, establishing a premise for tension and intrigue. The opening of the book introduces us to Larcier and Ferrat, who are serving as under-officers in the military. The narrative describes their camaraderie amidst the hostility of their peers and Larcier's escalating gambling issues, which culminate in a disastrous loss of money. As Ferrat loaned Larcier funds out of loyalty, he soon learns of Larcier’s engagement in a game that results in dire consequences. The story escalates as Larcier becomes embroiled in a murder investigation concerning his guardian, who has been found dead. The unfolding drama promises a deep dive into Larcier's psyche, exploring the implications of his choices against a backdrop of military life and moral dilemmas.
