| Summary | "Jean" by Paul de Kock is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around M. François Durand, an herborist, and the events surrounding the birth of his first child, Jean, as they unfold in a bustling Parisian setting. With a mix of humor and warmth, the narrative explores the relationships among family members, friends, and the challenges of parenthood. The opening of the novel introduces us to M. Durand, who is startled awake by his servant, Catherine, to find that his wife is in labor. Despite his deep sleep, he soon realizes the gravity of the situation and hurriedly sets off into the night to fetch an accoucheur and a midwife. The scene blends comedic elements with the urgency of childbirth, illustrating the chaos, anticipation, and excitement surrounding the arrival of a new family member. As Durand navigates the late-night streets filled with whimsical characters and potential dangers, the anxieties of the couple about parenthood begin to take shape, setting the stage for the family's evolving dynamics.
