Summary "Le bachelier" by Jules Vallès is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book narrates the experiences of young Jacques Vingtras, an ambitious student navigating the struggles of life in Paris after leaving his sheltered upbringing. As he confronts the realities of poverty, friendships, and the aspirations of youth, the story highlights his challenges as he seeks to carve a path in a world filled with uncertainties. The opening of the novel introduces Jacques Vingtras as he embarks on a journey from his provincial home to Paris, feeling both exhilarated and anxious about the transition into adulthood. As he leaves, he recalls a disheartening tale about a former classmate who met a tragic end, which weighs on his mind. Throughout his journey, Vingtras grapples with his newfound freedom and the fear of solitude and failure. Upon arriving in Paris, he quickly realizes the harsh realities of urban life, feeling lost and impoverished as he searches for friends and familiar connections in the bustling city. His inner thoughts reveal a mix of bravado and vulnerability, setting the stage for the unfolding narrative of a young man seeking to redefine his identity and purpose in a challenging environment.
