L'âge d'or by Edmond Jaloux
"L'âge d'or" by Edmond Jaloux is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces us to André, a character who reflects on his life and relationships, particularly with Eudes and Béatrice, amidst a backdrop of nostalgia and youthful innocence. The story focuses on themes of friendship, loss, and the passage of time. The opening of the novel captures a radiant day as André arrives at a house filledwith warmth and youthful energy, where he meets Eudes and a group of children, including the enchanting Béatrice. The atmosphere is imbued with a sense of beauty and a longing for the simplicity of childhood. As André interacts with the lively group, he feels a bittersweet connection to his past and is reminded of his own lost youth. The subsequent chapters hint at deeper emotional undercurrents, including the impermanence of happiness and the eventual departure from this idyllic world, setting the stage for reflections on life, memory, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
