Summary "The Ink-Stain (Tache d'Encre) — Volume 2" by René Bazin is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Fabien Mouillard, a young law student, as he navigates the challenges of love, ambition, and personal turmoil in a rapidly changing Paris. Set against the backdrop of artistic and societal evolution, the novel intricately weaves themes of aspiration, heartache, and the quest for identity. At the start of the book, Fabien is on the cusp of a significant moment in his life, awaiting a meeting that may change the course of his feelings for Mademoiselle Jeanne. He is joined by his friend Lampron, and their discussions reveal Fabien’s infatuation and emotional struggles regarding Jeanne's pending engagement to another man. The opening vividly depicts a vibrant Parisian scene filled with lively crowds heading to an exhibition, while subtle undercurrents of jealousy and longing provide insight into Fabien’s troubles. Amidst his personal conflicts, the narrative emphasizes his artistic sensibilities and inner turmoil as he prepares for an important examination, framing these emotions within the rich tapestry of the social landscape surrounding him, including interactions with various characters that further develop the themes of love and loss.
