Images from the Internet Archive. "Le baiser au lépreux" by François Mauriac is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative seems to explore themes of isolation, identity, and emotional struggle through the life of its protagonist, Jean Péloueyre, a troubled young man grappling with self-loathing and his role within his family and society. The opening of the story introduces readers to Jean as he navigates both his oppressive household and his inner turmoil. Set against a backdrop of a languorous summer afternoon, Jean awakens feeling trapped and frustrated, as he contemplates how to escape the strictures imposed by his father. The text illustrates his bleak outlook, highlighting his longing for connection and a desire to break free from the quiet, stifling existence that confines him. The narrative hints at deeper complexities in Jean's relationships, especially with the women in his life, as he seeks understanding and perhaps a sense of redemption. In this opening segment, readers gain insight into Jean’s character, setting the stage for his ongoing struggles throughout the novel.
