| Summary |
"Le Dernier Vivant" by Paul Féval is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds through the eyes of Geoffroy de Roeux, who recounts a series of strange and tragic events involving his friend Lucien Thibaut, a former judge whose life has been marred by deep misfortune and potential disgrace. The narrative sets up a complex web of intrigue that revolves around themes of friendship, betrayal, and the search for truth. The opening of the novel introduces Geoffroy’s quest to find Lucien, whom he has lost touch with over the years. He learns that Lucien is residing in a sanatorium, and when he finally encounters him, Lucien appears drastically changed—physically weakened and mentally disturbed, possessing an unsettling mix of lucidity and madness. Lucien's mysterious past unfolds gradually, hinting at a tragic event involving his wife, Jeanne, whose fate appears intertwined with accusations of murder. As the narrative progresses, layers of mystery and emotion envelop Geoffroy, compelling him to uncover the truth surrounding Lucien's descent into despair and the secrets of their shared history.
