"Jean de Kerdren" by Jeanne Schultz is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Jean de Kerdren, a young officer of the French Navy and the last descendant of a distinguished Breton family. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Jean's strong character, deeply rooted in tradition and noble heritage, as he grapples with his love for the sea and the complexities of human relationships, particularly with the diverse women he encounters. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a picturesque scene at Nice during festivities, where Jean's fellow officers are preparing to enjoy the carnival. Amidst the lively atmosphere, we learn that Jean is absent from the celebrations, absorbed in practicing the guitar, indicating his inclination towards solitude and depth of character. As the narrative progresses, we also catch glimpses of the intriguing dynamics between Jean and the noble lineage of the Kerdren family, suggesting themes of pride, historical legacy, and the harsh realities brought about by events like the Revolution. The characters are well-defined through their interactions and the social context of the time, hinting at Jean’s multifaceted personality and his evolving journey throughout the tale.
