"L'appel de la route" by Édouard Estaunié is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I France, the book explores the lives of three childhood friends who reconnect after the war at a café, contemplating their divergent paths and the lingering effects of their shared experiences. The narrative delves into profound themes of suffering, the search for meaning in life, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of this novel introduces us to three friends, each carrying distinct backgrounds and memories shaped by their experiences during the war. Gathered at a café in 1918, they engage in a seemingly trivial conversation which quickly deepens into a philosophical discussion about the nature of suffering and the human condition. Tensions arise as they reflect on the impacts of their wartime experiences, leading to an urge to share personal anecdotes that may illuminate their current predicaments. As they grapple with the unsettling realities of peace, their conversations hint at past traumas and future conflicts, setting the stage for a rich exploration of their intertwined fates.
