La bêtise humaine (Eusèbe Martin) by Jules Noriac
"La bêtise humaine" by Jules Noriac is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around the character Eusèbe Martin, a young man who leaves his provincial life behind to explore the complexities of the world in Paris. The narrative explores themes of innocence, naivety, and the harsh realities of urban life as Eusèbe navigates through various interactions and encounters that challenge his understanding of civilization. The opening portion of
the novel introduces Eusèbe's departure from home, where his father, M. Martin, gives him advice on life, emphasizing the importance of learning and independence. M. Martin reflects on his own experiences and delivers a mix of practical wisdom and philosophical musings. As Eusèbe travels to Paris, his initial excitement is met with a series of awkward encounters that reveal his ignorance about the world around him, from misunderstandings with a cocher and a soldier to a disheartening visit to the theatre.
