"La Peur" by Edmond Haraucourt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the themes of existential dread and human emotions, particularly fear, as it explores the psyche of its characters. It introduces Miguel, a lieutenant, and his love for Mercédès, set against a backdrop of tension and societal pressures, along with the looming threat of war. The opening portion sets the stage for the story by reflecting on the mysterious sinking of the battleship "Setubal", hinting at a dark intrigue woven into the naval backdrop. It follows a journalist’s attempt to uncover the truth behind the incident, interspersed with thoughts on his brother's command and the scandal surrounding the sinking. As the narrative progresses, we are introduced to Miguel's secret love story with Mercédès amid societal challenges, their longing for each other amidst external turmoil, and the lurking dangers in each of their lives. The tone evokes a blend of nostalgia and impending dread, hinting at the tragic repercussions of love and betrayal as they navigate a world governed by both personal and universal fears.
