| Summary | "Le poison" by Edmond Haraucourt is a narrative novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the themes of alcoholism and its impact on family and social dynamics in a small Breton village, exploring how addiction can alter lives and relationships. The book centers on the lives of Anne-Marie and her mother, who run a tavern after the disappearance of Anne-Marie's father, a man driven to drink. The story delves into her turbulent marriage to Moëlan, a mason whose alcoholism leads to domestic violence. After Moëlan's tragic death at sea, Anne-Marie navigates her way through grief, revenge, and the ensuing dynamics with local clientele, particularly with a brutish man named Toussaint. The narrative highlights the struggles against the backdrop of addiction and the fatal consequences of choices made in moments of despair, ultimately leading to an intense climax involving a storm at sea that tests the characters' fates.
