"Le Bar de la Fourche" by Auguste Gilbert de Voisins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American Far West, exploring themes of violence, ambition, and the human condition through the eyes of the protagonist, Olivier Saruex. He navigates a harsh life under the watchful eye of his tyrannical father and eventually embarks on a journey filled with adventure and moral dilemmas. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Olivier, a sixteen-year-old boy who has a strained relationship with his father, Georges Saruex. The narrative describes a tense day when Olivier's negligence leads to his father's fury, culminating in a violent confrontation that prompts Olivier to leave home in search of his fortune. As he joins a railroad construction crew in the remote Far West, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, including Vincent van Horst, who becomes a mentor figure. Their relationship deepens as they face various challenges together, including a violent encounter that will forever change Olivier's understanding of himself and the world around him.
