Summary "La biche écrasée" by Pierre Mille is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative likely revolves around a group of men whose carefree drive leads to a tragic encounter with a wounded deer, igniting reflections on life, violence, and the responsibilities of masculinity. The book appears to delve into complex themes of morality and the juxtaposition of joy and suffering. The opening of the novel introduces three men—Béville, Bottiaux, and Jalin—who have just dined and are preparing to drive home in their automobile. As they speed through the countryside, their exhilaration is suddenly interrupted when Jalin, the driver, discovers a deer lying wounded in their path. This unexpected encounter with the vulnerable creature starkly contrasts their thrill-seeking adventure and prompts a moment of introspection about their actions. The scene sets a somber tone, highlighting the moral complexities faced by the characters, especially as Béville later tries to reconcile his feelings of thrill and guilt after a night of reckless indulgence.
