Paul Bourget

    Paul Bourget fut un romancier et essayiste français qui réagit contre le naturalisme, inaugurant le roman d'analyse expérimental. Ses premières œuvres, riches en études fines de mœurs et de caractères, séduisirent la société mondaine parisienne en quête d'un rêve de modernité. Bourget s'orienta ensuite vers le « roman à thèse », explorant les causes psychologiques et morales des problèmes individuels et sociaux. Son œuvre, influencée par sa conversion au catholicisme, chercha à synthétiser foi et science, abordant les préoccupations sociales, politiques et religieuses de son temps.

    • Mladý středoškolský profesor odchází na krátký čas z malého města do Paříže, kde má na přání otce navštívit svého děda a vypátrat důvody jeho žádosti o peněžní půjčku. Přitom odhalí nejen vztah dědův k Pavle - mladé dívce vynikajících schopností, zaměstnané v nemocničnílaboratoři, která je jeho nelegitimní dcerou, ale stane se i bezděčným svědkem duševní krize nadaného spisovatele, potácejícího se mezi čistou láskou k Pavle a smyslným vztahem k vdané ženě. V laborantce Pavle, která není vlastní hrdinkou románu, vytvořil autor typ moderní generace žen, které vstupovaly do nejrůznějších zaměstnání přes všechny předsudky maloměšťácké společnosti, milovaly svou práci a stávaly se nezávislými na svém okolí.
