Summary: "Gerfaut — Volume 4" by Charles de Bernard is a novel set during the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the affluent and intricate lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Christian de Bergenheim and his relationships, notably with his wife, Clemence, and the enigmatic Gerfaut. The narrative delves into themes of passion, betrayal, and the delicate balance of social conduct within the aristocratic society. At the start of the volume, we find ourselves at a lively and inebriated supper in the castle of Bergenheim, where the conversations of various guests reveal a superficial conviviality masking deeper tensions, particularly surrounding the public prosecutor and a mysterious murder case. Amid the jests and drinks, Christian struggles with internal turmoil, giving way to a sense of foreboding. Notably, we are introduced to Marillac, who, in a drunken haze, risks revealing secrets that may implicate both himself and others. Gerfaut observes the discomfort of Christian, hinting at past incidents and potentially unresolved conflicts, culminating in an unexpected turn of events when the social façade begins to disintegrate, hinting at underlying complexities that threaten to unravel the lives intertwined within this gathering.
