Summary "La chair et le sang" by François Mauriac is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the emotional and psychological journey of its main character, Claude Favereau, who has just left the seminary and is grappling with his identity and the relationships in his life as he returns to his family home. The opening of the novel introduces Claude as he embarks on a slow train journey away from the seminary, filled with introspection and conflicting emotions. He reflects on his departure from the clergy, his relationships with his peers, especially the abbé Floirac, and the conflicting desires within himself. Upon arriving home, he encounters his family—particularly his father, Dominique, who struggles with the changes in their lives, and his mother Maria, who harbors her own concerns. As he navigates this return, he begins to interact with the new owners of the estate, the Dupont-Gunther family, hinting at future dynamics that will influence his journey of self-discovery amidst family expectations and societal pressures. The narrative rich in introspective detail sets the stage for a deeper exploration of human emotions, relationships, and existential questioning, promising a nuanced tale of love, faith, and identity.
