"The Immortals: Masterpieces of Fiction, Crowned by the French Academy" is a collection of notable literary works edited by Gaston Boissier, published in the early 20th century. This anthology seeks to present readers with a selection of acclaimed French novels that have achieved enduring significance and esteem, as recognized by the French Academy. The book captures essential themes of human experience through the lens of 19th-century French society, with a variety of rich characters, dramatic settings, and intricate emotional conflicts. The opening portion introduces the mammoth project of curating significant French romances, beginning with "Serge Panine" by Georges Ohnet. It sets the stage for the life of Madame Desvarennes, a formidable businesswoman who has risen to great success, alongside her struggles with personal sorrow stemming from her childlessness. As the narrative unfolds, it unveils her profound desire for motherhood, which she strives to fulfill through her adopted daughter, Jeanne. The dynamics become increasingly complicated as familial and romantic tensions arise, particularly with Pierre, a close friend of the family, who has recently returned from a long absence in Africa. This initial setup promises a blend of personal ambition, emotional depth, and societal exploration that characterizes the French literary canon, inviting readers to delve into the complexities of love, ambition, and social class.
