| Summary | "Les quatre cavaliers de l'apocalypse" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins by chronicling the travels of Jules Desnoyers, a young Argentine artist returning to Paris from Buenos Aires on the eve of World War I. The novel explores themes of national identity, the dread of impending conflict, and the complexities of relationships in a politically charged environment. The opening of the novel introduces Jules Desnoyers as he embarks on a transatlantic voyage. Initially, the atmosphere aboard the German ship is one of camaraderie, highlighting the superficial peace among passengers of diverse nationalities. However, the tension thickens as discussions of politics arise, especially regarding the growing war sentiment in Europe. Jules finds himself at odds with the belligerent attitudes of his German fellow travelers, particularly Captain Erckmann, a character who embodies the jingoistic fervor of Germany at the time. This initial episode foreshadows the tumultuous events to come, setting the stage for Desnoyers's personal and national struggles as the world around him spirals into chaos.
