The book delves into his journey of education, personal challenges, and the harsh realities of adult life he encounters along the way. The opening of "Le débutant" introduces us to the youthful Paul Mirot, whose intelligence and charm set him apart in school. He harbors a deep admiration for his beautiful teacher, mademoiselle Jobin, and is eager to please her, resulting in feelings of humiliation and confusion as he navigates the complexities of childhood affection and societal expectations. As Paul confronts various challenges at home with his uncle Batèche and aunt Zoé, he dreams of a brighter future. However, he is soon confronted with the stark realities of growing up, learning about love, betrayal, and the world beyond his small village as he aims for a career in journalism.
