Summary "Das Leiden eines Knaben" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the court of King Louis XIV, exploring themes of childhood, social dynamics, and the struggles of a boy named Julian Boufflers, who faces personal and academic challenges amidst the complexities of royal life and expectations. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to King Louis XIV and his interactions with Madame de Maintenon, showcasing the king's anecdotal conversations, particularly about his new confessor, Père Tellier. As the discussion progresses, the focus shifts to the struggles faced by young Julian Boufflers, the son of a marshal, who is described as timid and intellectually challenged. The dialogue reveals Julian's internal turmoil, compounded by the perception of others at court, including the mockery and the harsh realities of his situation. His plight is intertwined with the author's commentary on the broader societal and moral implications of life in the royal court, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of identity and belonging.
