| Summary | "André Cornélis" by Paul Bourget is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores themes of memory, loss, and the inner turmoil of the main character, André, as he navigates the aftermath of his father's mysterious death and the profound changes in his family dynamics, particularly with his mother's remarriage to a man he cannot accept. The opening of the novel introduces us to André's somber reflections on his childhood, particularly the emotional weight of his father's death and his feelings of isolation and sorrow. We see him as a young boy haunted by memories, struggling to reconcile the traumatic events that have shaped his life. As he recalls the circumstances surrounding his father's death, including the confusion and fear he experienced, a sense of foreboding fills his thoughts about the future and the complicated relationship with his mother and her new husband, which he resents deeply. The narrative invites readers into André's world, marked by a poignant blend of nostalgia and unease as he seeks to confront personal demons and understand his fractured identity.
