Tuula Temonen "Labyrintti : Romaani" by Édouard Estaunié is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Jean Pesnel, who is determined to repair his family’s honor after his banker father’s ruin, and his younger half-brother André, as a confession and an unexpected inheritance draw them into a moral labyrinth of guilt, truth, and duty. Set around Le Puy and a secluded ancestral estate, the story probes how past actions shape lives and how the drive to make amends can collide with self-interest. The opening of the book presents an urgent letter and package sent to André Cabriès at sea by Jean, who admits a hidden responsibility for a web of events and asks André to read his full confession; André does not reply. The narrative then shifts to Jean’s account: his father’s bank failure in Puy defines his life, he vows to repay the debts, raises André, and learns two stinging truths—his aunt, Madame de Castérac, helped trigger the collapse by withdrawing funds, and their old home is scornfully called the “House of the Bankrupts.” Summoned back by notary Bourdoin, Jean discovers the aunt has died; he is likely heir, and she secretly bought that very house. At her estate, a hidden hoard of banknotes—over two million—is found with no will, making him the legal heir. Despite the notary’s objections, Jean resolves to repay the old creditors, spends a restless first night at the estate, visits the dust-choked city house, and returns to set public notices in motion, exhilarated that restitution can finally begin.
