| Summary | "Bang vir die Lewe" by Henry Bordeaux is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Kibert family, particularly focusing on the relationships and dynamics between the characters, especially the brave matriarch, Mrs. Kibert, and her children, including her son Marcel, who has just returned from military service abroad. The narrative explores themes of familial love, social contrasts, and the human experience, highlighting the moral implications of courage and fear in life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mrs. Kibert as she anxiously awaits the return of her son, Marcel, who has been away for three years due to military duties in Madagascar. The setting is a poignant one, as Mrs. Kibert grapples with her feelings of loss and anticipation, reflecting on the passage of time and the impacts of her husband and daughter's deaths. Her daughter Paula adds complexity to the emotional landscape, as she faces societal pressures and the aftermath of family misfortune. As the narrative unfolds, it balances the tension between hope and despair, illustrating the strength and resilience of the Kibert family as they confront their past and their uncertain future.
