Description
Adrien Sixte's life is one of quiet contemplation, shaped by his theories on psychological materialism. However, this peaceful existence is disrupted when a desperate mother seeks his help in a court case and a young defendant, Robert Greslou, summons him with a confidential memoir from jail. Greslou's self-analysis reveals the complex web of causes that led to his current predicament, including his experiences as a tutor for an aristocratic family. His actions, particularly when experimenting with the affection he inspires in a young girl, ultimately lead to her tragic death. This edition of Paul Bourget's novel is a carefully edited and footnoted version of the only extant English translation. The Disciple raises fundamental questions about human liberty and responsibility, prompting readers to consider the consequences of our actions on others.
