Summary "New Bodies for Old" by Maurice Renard is an allegorical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a character named Nicolas Vermont who receives an unusual invitation from his Uncle Lerne, urging him to visit his estate at Fonval under the peculiar instruction to "come alone and give notice." As Nicolas journeys to Fonval, he finds himself embroiled in a web of scientific experimentation and eerie occurrences, hinting at mysterious and perhaps morally ambiguous practices. The opening of the novel introduces Nicolas's arrival at Fonval after receiving an odd letter from his uncle. He is met with an unwelcoming and perplexing environment as he navigates through an unnervingly labyrinthine estate. Throughout his journey, his childhood memories and feelings of nostalgia clash with the bizarre atmosphere and unsettling directives from his uncle. The reader is drawn into a world where the natural laws of life are being toyed with, foreshadowing deeper explorations into themes of nature, manipulation, and possibly the ethics of scientific discovery as hinted by Nicolas's encounter with a strange and chaotic mix of flora and fauna in his uncle's conservatory.
