More about the book

The novel explores the life and philosophical ideas of a boy genius captivated by the works of Emanuel Swedenborg. Set primarily in a school in Vendôme, it delves into the protagonist's metaphysical musings and his friendship with a character reflecting Balzac himself. While lacking a substantial plot, it offers a glimpse into Balzac's own childhood experiences and intellectual influences. Written during the summer of 1832, the work showcases a departure from Balzac's realist style, emphasizing introspective themes instead.
