| Summary |
"Le Roman du Malade" by Louis de Robert is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a protagonist who finds himself gravely ill, contemplating the meaning of life and death as he lays in his hospital bed. Emphasizing themes of introspection and the fragility of existence, the narrative delves deeply into the character's past, relationships, and mental state as he confronts his impending mortality. At the start of the novel, the main character reflects on his life while bedridden with a severe illness, believed to be bronchitis. He grapples with feelings of despair and acceptance, realizing that he had taken his health for granted before facing this dire fate. The presence of his silent nurse and anxious mother adds to the somber atmosphere, as he vividly recalls memories of his childhood and his father’s death. The opening sets a poignant tone, inviting readers to explore the profound emotional landscape of a man on the brink of death, contemplating his life's worth and the inevitability of his end.
