"Comte du Pape" by Hector Malot is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins in Rome, focusing on a mother, Madame Prétavoine, and her son, Aurélien Prétavoine, as they arrive in the city. The story seems to delve into themes of social interactions, family, and the pursuit of connections in high society, specifically through their planned visit to Madame de la Roche-Odon, who is related to their ambitions regarding Aurélien's romantic prospects with her daughter, Bérengère. At the start of the novel, the train journey to Rome captures the emotions and expectations of various travelers, illustrating a vibrant atmosphere. Upon arrival, Madame Prétavoine expresses concern about her lack of knowledge regarding the prominent figures in Rome, scolding Aurélien for not helping her navigate their experiences there. They settle into their hotel and discuss their plans to enter high society, particularly targeting their visit to Madame de la Roche-Odon and her son, Prince Michel Sobolewski. Their intentions revolve around securing favorable relationships that might facilitate Aurélien's prospects, laying the groundwork for intrigue and social maneuvering throughout the novel.
