Summary "La poudre aux yeux" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around M. Quinqueton, a once proud judge of peace who has fallen into financial ruin, and his son Prosper, who struggles to find his place in the world. The narrative explores themes of ambition, illusion, and the often challenging relationship between parents and children. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the characters and their backgrounds. The narrator recounts early memories of visiting Vendôme, where he met M. Quinqueton and his son, Prosper. M. Quinqueton is depicted as a kind, trusting man whose dreams of prosperity have been dashed due to poor decisions concerning his vineyard and reliance on dubious advice about American grapevines. As the story unfolds, tensions rise with Prosper's ambition to succeed as a journalist in Paris, juxtaposed against the grim realities of his father's failing fortunes and the looming threat of financial disaster. The opening successfully sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the family's intertwined fate amidst societal expectations and personal aspirations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
