About This Book

A young man keeps a candid diary to confront reduced fortunes and to examine family history, recalling a father whose public brilliance contrasts with domestic harshness and a melancholic mother whose suffering isolates her; memories of a provincial estate and Parisian society alternate with journeys to Brittany and Rennes, while intimate reflection and refined prose trace his moral unease, social constraints, and efforts to preserve dignity amid financial decline.
