Summary "Le portier des Chartreux, ou mémoires de Saturnin écrits par lui-même" is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book presents the vivid and often scandalous recollections of its main character, Saturnin, whose life is interwoven with themes of sensuality, desire, and the polemics surrounding ecclesiastical hypocrisy. This piece invites readers into a world where the boundaries of morality and indulgence are constantly tested. The opening of the novel introduces Saturnin, who reflects on his previous life of indulgence and immorality, depicting a journey from innocence to awakening desire. He recounts his dubious parentage as the product of the Célestins monks and sets the stage for a series of lascivious encounters, starting with his voyeuristic observations of Toinette, his nurse, and a monk. The narrative weaves through Saturnin's burgeoning sexual curiosity and exaggerated fantasies, setting a provocative tone that suggests the exploration of both corporeal and spiritual conflicts. As he navigates his early experiences and the complexities of familial relationships, particularly with his sister Suzon, the reader is drawn into a revelatory tale reflecting on the nature of desire and the follies of those governed by lust.
