Synopsis
Pierre et Jean marked a turning point in the development of French fiction, situated as it is between traditional social realism and the pyschological novel. It is recognized as a classic study of filial jealousy and is also notable for its evocation of the Normandy coastline captured by the Impressionists., Henry James's admiration for "this masterly little novel" has been echoed throughout the twentieth century by readers of Pierre et Jean . It marked a turning point in the development of French fiction, situated as it is between traditional social realism and the psychological novel. It is recognized as a classic study of filial jealousy, triggered by one of the two brothers of its title finding himself the sole inheritor of the fortune of his mother's former lover. Pierre et Jean is set in Le Havre in the 1880s and is notable for its evocation of the Normandy coastline captured by the Impressionists.
