Sous les marronniers en fleurs by Henri Bachelin
"Sous les marronniers en fleurs" by Henri Bachelin is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of childhood, identity, and the struggles of growing up, following the narrator’s reflections on his formative years and his experiences at school. The main character, referred to as Berlâne, grapples with feelings of isolation and self-discovery amidst the complexities of youthful social dynamics. The opening of the book introduces thenarrator's nostalgic recollection of his early childhood, depicting it as a magical time marked by fear and wonder. He reflects on his school days, contrasting himself with other children who are inclined toward boisterous play, while he prefers solitude and introspection. The narrator experiences a certain alienation and unique perceptions of the world that set him apart from his peers. This sense of otherness and his gradual coming-of-age amidst friendships, rivalries, and the quest for self-acceptance establish the foundation for the themes that will unfold throughout the narrative.
