René Galluvot (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "La première flétrissure" by J. Agrippa is a critical examination of the educational system and moral decay among children, likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the detrimental effects of boarding schools on young boys, exemplified by the character Henri, who experiences alienation and moral corruption as he navigates the harsh realities of life at a collège. Agrippa scrutinizes the family structure and parental responsibilities while raising concerns about the systemic issues that contribute to the degradation of values among the youth. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the lives of children like Henri, who have been sent away to boarding school to receive an education that the author argues is flawed. The text highlights Henri's initial struggles with fitting in, marked by his anxiety and vulnerability upon arrival at the collège. Agrippa presents a stark reality where young boys confront not only academic pressures but also moral challenges and corrupt influences from both peers and authority figures. The opening portion sets the tone for a harrowing exploration of the effects of institutional education, suggesting that it may lead to a loss of innocence and virtue rather than nurturing future generations.
