Summary "Bas les coeurs!" by Georges Darien is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Franco-Prussian War, and it primarily focuses on a young boy named Jean Barbier as he navigates his thoughts and experiences in a tumultuous societal atmosphere filled with war fervor and political discussions. Through Jean's perspective, the text explores themes of youthful enthusiasm, political naivety, and the stark realities of war. The opening of the novel introduces a poignant moment as news of war's declaration reaches Jean and his family. Jean's interactions with various characters, including his war-spirited father and Professor Beaudrain, reveal a mix of excitement and anxiety about the impending conflict. As Jean engages in mischievous behaviors, trying to dodge responsibilities while absorbing the differing attitudes towards war from adults around him, a vivid image of pre-war Paris is painted. The chapter captures the fervent nationalism and unrealistic optimism prevalent in society while foreshadowing the chaos and disillusionment that war inevitably brings.
