Summary "Conscience — Volume 1" by Hector Malot is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book opens with a portrayal of the life of Crozat, a Bohemian who has risen from poverty through a fortunate marriage, and now hosts intellectual gatherings at his home. During these reunions, the characters engage in deep philosophical discussions about society, duty, and conscience, exploring flawed human motivations and the complexities of morality. At the start of the volume, we are introduced to Crozat's Wednesday reunions filled with his former comrades and new thinkers, creating an atmosphere ripe for vibrant debate. Key figures in the opening are Brigard, who espouses radical views on conscience and duty, and Saniel, a troubled doctor whose financial woes and existential crises come to the forefront. As discussions swirl around fundamental questions about the role of conscience in moral decision-making, Saniel's frustrations and a burgeoning love story with Phillis take shape amidst his struggles, hinting at deeper themes of life, ambition, and societal pressures that will unfold in the narrative.
