| Summary | "L'École des indifférents" by Jean Giraudoux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the main characters Jacques and his friends, exploring themes of friendship, indifference, and the complexity of human relationships. As Jacques navigates his interactions with his friends, particularly Étienne and Dolly, the text delves into their perceptions of love, desire, and existential musings about life and the connections between men and women. The opening of the novel introduces Jacques as he reflects on his friendships and the nature of his relationships, particularly with Étienne, who exhibits a blend of whimsicality and an inability to focus on reality. The two friends share moments of exploration and philosophical conversation, including an encounter with a mysterious green-eyed woman that sparks Étienne’s desire for adventure. Following these interactions, Jacques also describes his connection to Dolly, a lively friend whose energetic disposition contrasts with his more contemplative nature. Through these early exchanges, Giraudoux sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the indifference that pervades modern life, hinting at psychological themes and the nuanced dynamics of affection, apathy, and cultural commentary.
