Summary "The Martian: A Novel" by George Du Maurier is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the character Bartholomiou "Barty" Josselin, a young English boy navigating life at a French boarding school. The story captures his experiences, friendships, and the distinctive events that shape his childhood and character, blending themes of humor, adventure, and social commentary. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the atmosphere of the Institution F. Brossard, where boys of varying ages are studying. The narrative focuses on the hot summer afternoon in 1847, highlighting the school environment, including its inhabitants and teachers. The arrival of Barty, the new student, captures the attention of his peers due to both his charm and the peculiar incidents he finds himself in, including entertaining them with antics involving his pet mouse. We get glimpses of his interactions with the strict but ultimately caring teacher, Monsieur Bonzig, and establish an early sense of Barty's vibrant personality that frequently leads to humorous situations even in the midst of stern school discipline.
