| Summary | "Le Pays de l'or" by Hendrik Conscience is a historical novel set in the mid-19th century, likely around the time of the California Gold Rush. The story revolves around young characters, including Jean and Victor, who work as clerks in a commercial office in Antwerp. The narrative is driven by their aspirations for adventure, wealth, and freedom, as they become enamored with the idea of seeking gold in California, which symbolizes opportunity and a departure from their mundane lives. The opening of the book introduces a bustling office atmosphere where Jean, discontent with his stationery job, passionately shares his desire to embark on a journey to California after reading about the gold rush. His friend Victor is initially hesitant but is inspired by Jean's enthusiasm and the prospect of improving their lives. The narrative sets a tone of youthful ambition and camaraderie as the two friends discuss their dreams, including the pursuit of gold and the impact it may have on their families. As they prepare for this transformative journey, their motivations blend personal aspirations with familial responsibilities, hinting at the emotional complexities underlying their quest for adventure.
