Project Gutenberg 2008-10-07 Public domain in the USA. 160 Des Ages, Lucie 1845 Ages, Lucie des La destinée Produced by Daniel Fromont "La destinée" by Lucie Des Ages is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in Poitiers and revolves around the character of Dr. Robert Martelac, who encounters his old friend, Lieutenant Jacques Hilleret, amidst a backdrop of social dynamics and personal struggles. The narrative hints at themes of friendship, socio-economic disparity, and the impacts of familial ties as it unfolds in a historically rich setting. The opening of the novel introduces Dr. Martelac as he meanders through the rain-soaked streets of Poitiers. He unexpectedly runs into Jacques Hilleret, who initially seems apprehensive but soon reveals his identity, leading to a heartfelt reunion. Their conversation showcases a deep camaraderie rooted in their past while touching upon Jacques' recent arrival in the city. As the two friends discuss their current lives, Martelac expresses his affection for his humble family home, which his mother refuses to abandon despite its dilapidated condition. The chapter effectively sets the stage for character development and foreshadows relationships that may evolve, particularly as new characters like Anne Duplay are introduced later in that same section, intertwining their lives even further.
