| Summary |
"Paternidad" by André Theuriet is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Francisco Delaberge, a solitary and diligent general inspector of forests, who reflects on his life choices, particularly his decision to stay single. As he embarks on a journey to resolve a boundary dispute in a rural area, themes of longing for love, familial bonds, and the desire for companionship are intricately woven into his introspections. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Delaberge as he travels from Paris to Belfort. The gloomy weather mirrors the character's internal struggles, revealing his solitary lifestyle and the repercussions of years spent dedicated to his career at the expense of personal relationships. The text hints at his deep-seated desire for connection, particularly through the notion of paternity that emerges in his contemplations about marriage and children. His journey leads him to Val-Clavin, where he encounters a more vibrant world, including a compelling woman named Camila Liénard, who may challenge his views on life and family.
