Summary: "La Chauve-Souris" by Charles Derennes is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces themes of childhood wonder and nature through the eyes of a young boy as he navigates his relationships with the enchanting yet enigmatic world of bats, particularly focusing on the character Noctu, a small bat he captures. As he grapples with interactions between nature and self-discovery, Derennes explores the complexities of life and the innocence of childhood. The opening of "La Chauve-Souris" paints a vivid picture of the protagonist’s childhood memories in a town named Jolibeau, where he becomes fascinated with the night sky and the nocturnal creatures that inhabit it, particularly bats. The narrative shifts between playful observations of the boy's adventures with his cousins and contemplations on the workings of the natural world. As he discovers the existence of bats, he reflects on their unique characteristics and behaviors, shifting from dreams of stargazing to the realities of observing these creatures. Through descriptions of his interactions with the local characters, such as the old gardener Pile—whose whimsical personality adds depth to the setting—the beginning establishes a rich, hallowed atmosphere that showcases the beauty and strangeness of the natural world seen through a child's eyes.
