| Summary | "Le gardien du feu" by Anatole Le Braz is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set around the lives of lighthouse keepers, focusing on Goulven Dénès, a dedicated yet troubled guardian of the Gorlébella lighthouse. The narrative explores themes of duty, isolation, and the complexities of love against the backdrop of the harsh Breton coast. The opening of the novel introduces us to Goulven Dénès, who begins by reflecting on his life and responsibilities as a lighthouse keeper. It establishes the lonely and arduous nature of his job, evoking a sense of foreboding with descriptions of the rugged landscape surrounding the lighthouse. As he reviews a grim dossier concerning the lighthouse's past, we learn of a strange incident involving his predecessor. Through his musings, Goulven reveals a profound inner conflict stemming from his duty to the lighthouse and his yearning for a deeper connection with his wife, Adèle, shedding light on their relationship's fragility and the emotional toll of his isolation.
