| Summary | "Le voleur" by Georges Darien is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a nameless protagonist who, amidst his travels and escapades, confesses to having stolen a manuscript, seemingly belonging to a character named Randal. This act sets him on a path that reflects on morality, theft, and the author's introspective journey through his relationship with societal norms and human nature. At the start of the novel, the narrator introduces himself with a brazen confession of theft regarding Randal’s manuscript. He recounts his arrival in Brussels, his encounter with the hotel proprietress, and his curiosity leading him to explore the contents of a suitcase left behind by a guest. The opening establishes a comical yet thought-provoking tone as the narrator grapples with the consequences of his action, the nature of the manuscript, and the dilemma of theft amid a society that indulges in moral hypocrisy. As he contemplates his decision to keep the manuscript, the narrator hints at broader societal themes of justice, morality, and the chaotic blend of personal and societal expectations that will drive the narrative forward.
