Le dangereux jeune homme by René Boylesve
"Le dangereux jeune homme" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Robert, a 17-and-a-half-year-old boy who is invited to spend the summer at his wealthy brother-in-law's villa in the fashionable Folleville-sur-Mer. The book explores the themes of innocence and the seductive allure of a modern, liberated society that contrasts sharply with Robert's conservative upbringing, promising to delve into his coming-of-age experiences amidsta group of carefree Parisians. The opening of the novel introduces Robert as he travels from Grenoble to his brother-in-law’s villa, filled with excitement and naivety about the new world he is about to enter. His arrival at the villa coincides with a vibrant social scene that includes sophisticated young women and adventurous sports, all of which intrigue and ultimately overwhelm him. As he attempts to navigate this new environment, Robert quickly becomes enamored with a young girl named Gisèle, and their interactions reveal his innocence and the social taboos he is yet to learn. The interactions between Robert, his family, and the liberated young women at the villa set the stage for exploring the challenges and dangers of youthful naivety in a rapidly changing society.
