| Summary | "L'influence d'un livre: Roman historique" by Philippe Aubert de Gaspé is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story likely revolves around themes related to ambition, knowledge, and perhaps the consequences of one's actions within a historical context. The primary characters introduced include Charles Amand, an alchemist obsessed with the pursuit of gold, and his hesitant companion, Dupont, who is drawn into Amand's dangerous schemes. The opening of the novel introduces us to a dimly lit cabin on the southern bank of the Saint-Laurent River, where Charles Amand labors tirelessly in the hope of achieving alchemical success. Despite his efforts to transmute base metals into gold, he is met with frustration and failure. As Amand prepares for a fateful meeting with his friend Dupont, who grapples with uncertainty about their morally dubious plans, the tension between ambition and conscience is established. Amand, infused with a sense of desperation and determination, dreams of future success, while Dupont's reluctance foreshadows the conflict that lies ahead in their quest for wealth and power.
