The protagonist, Fabien Mouillard, is a young barrister navigating the complexities of law school, familial expectations, and the unexpected adventures life throws his way. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Fabien as he reflects on his mundane past and the seemingly dull trajectory of his life so far, framed by his uncle’s ambition for him to become a successful lawyer. Fabien recounts his experiences at the National Library, where a mishap involving ink leads to an embarrassing confrontation with an esteemed scholar, Monsieur Charnot. This incident becomes a catalyst for his introspection and a desire to document his life. The opening sets a tone of both humor and earnestness, establishing Fabien's character as he grapples with academic pressures and social encounters, which hints at the intriguing developments to come in his life.
