Summary: "Albert" by Louis Dumur is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Albert, a child with innate discontent and a foreshadowing of existential questioning, born into a mundane and uninspiring provincial family. It explores themes of the absurdity of existence, the struggles of coming of age, and the quest for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The opening of the novel introduces us to Albert's birth in a dull, lifeless town where his parents embody the monotony and despair of their surroundings. Albert's early experiences are marked by a sense of disappointment and an inability to find joy or purpose in life, leading to deep reflections about existence itself. As he grows, he exhibits a rebellious spirit, questioning societal norms and the nature of happiness. The initial chapters detail his complex relationships with his family, his philosophical musings on life and death, and his fascination with his delicate cousin, Jacinthe, who ultimately serves as a symbol of his fleeting hopes before facing tragic loss. The narrative thus sets the stage for a profound exploration of the human condition and the search for significance amid despair. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
