Le roman de Joël by Pierre Maël
"Le roman de Joël" by Pierre Maël is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque setting of Saint-Malo, focusing on the dynamics between the kind-hearted doctor Hugh Le Budinio, his young nephew Joël, and the beautiful Maïna. The themes of familial bonds, affection, and the conflicts between duty and personal ambitions appear to be central to the narrative. At the start of the novel, weare introduced to the fascinating characters, particularly the amiable Doctor Le Budinio, who has dedicated his life to caring for the less fortunate. The Old Doctor finds joy in simple tasks, like watering plants, which leads to a delightful encounter with his servant Tina. The dynamics shift with the arrival of Joël, who has just completed his medical studies, and the highly anticipated return of Maïna, his cousin, who represents a cherished presence in both their lives. As the warm familial atmosphere unfolds, hints of aspirations, love, and responsibilities emerge, setting the stage for deeper interactions and emotional developments throughout the book.
