Summary "The Three Eyes" by Maurice Leblanc is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Noël Dorgeroux, an eccentric inventor whose mysterious experiments lead to extraordinary phenomena. As the plot unfolds, a mix of scientific discovery and personal dilemmas merge, suggesting themes of suspense, intrigue, and the intersection of the unexplained with human emotion. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Noël Dorgeroux, who appears distraught and agitated after a week of isolating work in his laboratory. His anxious state leads to a series of cryptic sketches depicting three abstract geometric figures, which seem to represent "eyes" that he claims are alive. His interactions with his young goddaughter Bérangère and his nephew Victorien hint at deeper emotional connections and tensions. As the narrative progresses, we catch glimpses of Dorgeroux's groundbreaking yet troubling discoveries, including vivid apparitions linked to his inventions. The opening sets the stage for an adventure steeped in mystery, anticipation, and the unfolding complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
