Summary "La maison" by Henry Bordeaux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around the titular house, which serves as a symbol of childhood, memory, and familial ties, focusing on the life of the protagonist, who reflects on his upbringing in this home. Through his memories, readers are introduced to various family members, including his authoritative father and kind mother, as well as the contrasting figures of his grandfather and a governess named Tante Dine. The opening of "La maison" presents a nostalgic and intimate depiction of the protagonist’s childhood, emphasizing the importance of the house as a cornerstone of his identity. The narrative begins with children returning home from school and describing their destination as "the house," regardless of its condition. This sets the tone for the protagonist's remembrance of his own childhood home, filled with vivid details and emotional connections. He recounts the various changes over time and reflects on the roles of family members, pointing out the warm familiarity and simultaneous strangeness that comes with growth and change. The reader is immersed in a world rich with sensory experiences and sentiments, making the house not just a physical space, but a vessel of memories and emotions.
