"Le vœu d'être chaste: roman" by Émile Pouvillon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative seems to explore themes of faith, morality, and the struggles of a young seminarian, Gilbert Nohèdes, as he navigates the challenges of religious devotion against the backdrop of worldly temptations. The story delves into Gilbert's reflections on his vocation and his encounters with the complexities of love, duty, and purity. The opening of the novel introduces Gilbert Nohèdes, who is a seminarian preparing to leave for his summer vacations. As he recollects his journey towards the priesthood, his thoughts drift from childhood innocence to the hardships of adolescence, marked by a profound loss and a moral crisis stemming from his father's infidelity. He experiences an inner battle between his spiritual ambitions and the allure of worldly pleasures, especially as he prepares to return to his hometown where memories of a childhood friend, Claire Mériel, haunt him. The tensions between his devout aspirations and the mundane realities of life begin to surface, setting the stage for deeper conflicts as the story unfolds.
