Summary: "Mon oncle Benjamin" by Claude Tillier is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the character of Benjamin Rathery, a philosophical and humorous man who serves as both a doctor and a journalist. The narrative explores themes of life's absurdity, the nature of suffering, and the pursuit of happiness amidst struggle. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Benjamin's musings about the futility of life and the inevitability of suffering.

He is living with his family, where his eccentric character is further highlighted by stories involving his attempts to navigate his love life, particularly through humorous interactions about marriage with his relatives and friends.
