Summary "The Nabob, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the character of Paul de Géry, the titular Nabob, who experiences the lavish life in Paris following his wealth accumulated abroad. The book offers a portrayal of societal nuances, the wealthy elite of the time, and the complexities of human relationships within this backdrop. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dr. Jenkins, a fashionable physician navigating through the opulent world of his wealthy patients in Paris. His encounters with the elite reveal a society consumed by appearances and wealth, as he prepares for a breakfast at the house of the Nabob, who has recently gained attention in the city. The reader glimpses the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, as well as Jenkins' complex relationships with his patients, alluding to the broader themes of societal critique and character dynamics that will unfold throughout the story.
