Summary | "Conscience" by Hector Malot is a novel written during the late 19th century, a time when literature was exploring the depths of human conscience and morality. The story centers on Saniel, a struggling doctor in Paris, who grapples with financial hardship and the moral dilemmas surrounding his ambitions and personal relationships. The book delves into the complexities of conscience, duty, and the existential struggles faced by individuals during turbulent times. The opening of "Conscience" introduces the reader to a gathering hosted by Crozat, where a group of friends engage in deep philosophical discussions. Among them is Saniel, a man in distress over his mounting debts and uncertain future. He is portrayed as a determined individual who has made sacrifices for the sake of his goals in medicine but is now confronted with the possibility of losing everything. The narrative quickly reveals his interactions with key characters, such as Brigard, who challenges the morality of conscience, and Glady, who embodies the struggles of the wealthy. As Saniel's situation becomes increasingly dire, the stakes rise, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of social expectations, personal integrity, and the quest for fulfillment in a modernizing society.
