of the novel introduces the reader to an intense political dialogue between Georges Legranpan and Auguste Mandrillat. As tensions rise, Legranpan chastises Mandrillat for his son's growing involvement in socialism and revolutionary activities, which threatens Mandrillat’s political standing. The father-son dynamics between Mandrillat and his son Charles, who aspires to an anarchist path, further complicate the situation as Mandrillat grapples with his loss of control over his family and societal values.
