Simpson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Man with the Broken Ear" by Edmond About is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Leon Renault, a young engineer who, after having made a fortune in the Ural mines, returns home to Fontainebleau to reunite with his family and his childhood sweetheart, Clementine. As Leon navigates the joys of familial reunion and the complexities of love, he becomes entangled in the unusual fate of a desiccated colonel—an experiment in reanimation led by the eccentric Professor Meiser. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Leon as he arrives home amidst much excitement and warmth from his parents and friends. He is eager to see Clementine, his betrothed, whose beauty and charm are vividly described. However, their happy reunion is interrupted by the revelation of a mummy that Leon has brought back from his travels—the preserved body of Colonel Fougas. As Leon shares humorous yet unsettling details about the colonel, it sparks Clementine's deep curiosity and compassion toward this bizarre figure, leading her to express strangely intense feelings for him. This peculiar attachment adds a layer of complexity to Leon and Clementine's budding relationship, reflecting on themes of love, the intersections of science and morality, and the human fascination with life and death.
