The book centers around Abbé Jérôme Coignard, a scholar and librarian who engages in various philosophical discussions about society, government, and human nature, all while showcasing his unique blend of skepticism and compassion. The text is both a satire on human folly and a reflection on the wisdom of simple truths. The opening of the novel introduces us to Abbé Coignard through the eyes of his devoted pupil, Jacques Menétrier, known as Tournebroche. It discusses Coignard's biography, his tragic end, and the insights of his character. Notably, Coignard is depicted as a figure of wisdom and gentleness, often holding contrarian views regarding politics and society, demonstrating a disdain for the pomp of rulers and the pretense of statecraft. The narrative is vibrant, with engaging dialogues that explore Coignard's critiques of contemporary issues, including the nature of governance and mankind's intractable flaws, while displaying his belief that true virtue lies in simplicity and humility.
