The opening of "L'enfant" introduces us to Jacques, who recollects his early years marred by physical punishment and emotional neglect. He describes the austere and often cruel interactions with his mother, revealing a deep yearning for affection and acknowledgment. From his first memories, which are tied to painful experiences, to his observations of the people in his neighborhood, Vallès paints a vivid picture of a boy caught in a difficult environment, where love is overshadowed by fear and discipline.
