L'Immortel by Alphonse Daudet
"L'Immortel" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel centered on the fictional world surrounding the French Academy. The story follows the Astier-Réhu family's relentless pursuit of academic prestige and social advancement through manipulation, strategic marriages, and high-society connections. When Professor Léonard Astier-Réhu's collection of historical autographs—the foundation of his scholarly reputation—is exposed as fraudulent, his carefully constructed world begins to crumble. The novel explores ambition, corruption, and the price of immortality in France's
elite intellectual circles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
