| Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 20" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a literary collection likely written in the mid-19th century. This work includes discussions and analyses of various literary topics, with a particular focus on the influence of notable figures and works in literature. The book specifically opens with an exploration of the themes found in Xavier de Maistre’s poignant narrative, "Le Lépreux de la Cité d'Aoste," which delves into profound human emotions such as isolation and suffering. The beginning of the volume introduces readers to the setting of the discussion, as Lamartine reflects on his past experiences at the Jesuit college during the time of Napoleonic rule. He introduces Louis de Vignet, who is connected to the writer Xavier de Maistre. Their friendship and literary interests are depicted as they plan to read "Le Lépreux de la Cité d'Aoste" during a mountain excursion. This sets the stage for an exploration of the themes of solitude and human connection, particularly as they relate to the titular character, a leper living in isolation. The narrative hints at a deep emotional journey through the reading of this work, foreshadowing the impact it has on the characters involved and the broader implications for understanding human suffering and compassion.
