As he becomes entangled with exiles, aristocrats, and idealists, his ideals confront harsh truths about decadence, faith, and human contradiction.

It's a portrait of a man-and a world-teetering between conviction and collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Charles Joseph Bourget (1852-1935) was a French novelist and critic.
