About this eBook

Author Coppée, François, 1842-1908
Title A Romance of Youth — Complete
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "A Romance of Youth — Complete" by François Coppée is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Amedee Violette, a young boy who reflects on his childhood, period marked by innocence and the profound impact of love and loss. Through Amedee's eyes, readers experience both the warmth of familial love and the sting of grief as his early years are shadowed by the illness and eventual death of his mother. The opening of the novel introduces Amedee on a sunlit balcony, vividly recollecting his childhood experiences with his parents and neighbors. As a boy, he indulges in simple pleasures like painting and listening to music, unaware of the impending sorrow that will transform his joyous world. The tranquil atmosphere is disrupted by his mother's declining health, leading to a tangible shift from carefree days to a reality steeped in sadness and uncertainty. The vivid imagery of the balcony, coupled with poignant family interactions, sets the stage for Amedee's forthcoming journey into the difficulties of adolescence marked by loss, as he grapples with his father's despair and finds solace in the camaraderie of friends and neighbors.
