| Summary | "La nouvelle Carthage" by Georges Eekhoud is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the life of Laurent Paridael, an orphan who is taken in by his wealthy relatives, the Dobouziez family, after the death of his father. The narrative unfolds as Laurent navigates his new environment, the contrasting social dynamics with his privileged cousin Gina, and the harsh realities of the industrialized world surrounding them. The opening of the novel introduces us to the somber atmosphere surrounding the funeral of Jacques Paridael, seen through the eyes of his young son, Laurent. As he grapples with grief, we witness a stark contrast between Laurent's emotional turmoil and the seemingly indifferent attitudes of his relatives towards his pain. The story hints at the complexities of familial relationships and societal expectations, as Laurent is thrust into a world of wealth and industry that feels foreign to him. His interactions with Gina, who embodies both charm and superiority, set the stage for Laurent's journey of self-discovery within the confines of his new life. The excerpt presents an engaging blend of personal loss, social commentary, and the exploration of childhood innocence in the face of adult complexities.
