| Summary |
"Rabevel, ou le mal des ardents, Volume 3 : La fin de Rabevel" by Lucien Fabre is a narrative novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the central character, Bernard Rabevel, who presents a complex intertwining of business ambitions and personal relationships, particularly with his former lover Angèle and his current wife Reine. Through Bernard’s struggles with his past desires and present obligations, the book delves into themes of passion, order, and self-discipline, asking deeper questions about human connections and personal fulfillment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Bernard Rabevel, whose efficient and methodical approach to business is contrasted with his tumultuous inner feelings, especially regarding his unresolved relationship with Angèle from his past. As he navigates his responsibilities at home with Reine, he grapples with neglect towards their marriage and frustration over his son Jean's mediocrity compared to his friend Noë's son. The narrative further reveals Bernard's growing awareness of Angèle's continued presence in his life, alongside the complexities of family dynamics, business crises, and the re-emergence of old tensions as he prepares for Angèle's visit, setting the stage for a dramatic exploration of his loyalties and desires.
