Summary "Conscience" by Hector Malot is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around a group of intellectuals and artists who gather regularly at the home of a former bohemian named Crozat. The story delves into deep philosophical, political, and social discussions that reflect the struggles and existential dilemmas faced by its characters. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Crozat's welcoming gatherings, where friends engage in thoughtful debates. Among the attendees are Crozat, his wife, and a prominent figure named Brigard, an apostle of unconventional ideas and a champion of living by one's conscience. A notable character, Saniel, an ambitious young doctor struggling with financial difficulties and his aspirations, interrupts one of these discussions with challenging inquiries about morality and duty. Through Saniel's interactions and observations, we glimpse his internal conflicts and the societal pressures he faces as he seeks both professional recognition and personal integrity amidst a backdrop of camaraderie and philosophical inquiry. This opening portion establishes the foundation for a narrative that will explore themes of conscience, ambition, and human connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
