"The Disciple" by Paul Bourget is a philosophical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Adrien Sixte, a modern philosopher who is drawn into a moral and psychological drama involving his young disciple, Robert Greslon, who faces serious accusations of murder. This work explores themes of responsibility, the impact of philosophical ideas on individual actions, and the complexities of human nature. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Adrien Sixte, who leads a solitary life dedicated to his academic pursuits. Suddenly, his routine is disrupted when he receives a summons from the court regarding the case of Robert Greslon, a young man he mentored. The narrative delves into the particulars of the case, revealing that Greslon is accused of murdering a young woman named Mlle. de Jussat under suspicious circumstances. As Sixte grapples with the implications of encountering the distraught mother of Greslon and the moral questions raised by the case, the philosophical underpinnings of individual conscience and societal influence emerge, setting the stage for an exploration of the intersection between ideas and actions.
