Summary "Les civilisés: Roman" by Claude Farrère is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the exotic backdrop of Saïgon, exploring the lives of a group of Western characters, particularly focusing on Dr. Raymond Mévil, who embodies a mix of charm and moral ambiguity as he navigates romantic entanglements and social interactions in a colonial setting. The book likely delves into themes of sensuality, desire, and the clash of cultures. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dr. Raymond Mévil, who is preparing to take a pousse, a traditional Vietnamese mode of transport, through Saïgon. The reader gets a glimpse of his charismatic personality and his magnetic allure to women, showcasing an atmosphere filled with vibrant social interactions. As he makes visits, we meet various characters, including an attorney and several elegant women, each revealing snippets of the decadent life in colonial Vietnam. Mévil's demeanor is flirtatious and impudent, hinting at the complexities of relationships that will be explored further in the story. The scene sets the stage for a tale interwoven with the ethical contrasts of Western civilization and the local culture. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
