| Summary |
"Le Mirage" by Auguste Gilbert de Voisins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to delve into the complexities of perception, identity, and the impact of war on personal relationships through the experiences of its main character, referred to as Serval, and his friend, Cigogne. As they navigate life on the front lines during World War I, the novel explores themes of self-awareness, friendship, and the dichotomy of reality versus illusion. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist reflects on a childhood moment spent looking in the mirror, contemplating the various reflections of oneself and their meanings. Through lively interactions with his parents, the protagonist's curiosity about identity is shown as a precursor to the deeper explorations in the story. The opening introduces Cigogne, who is characterized both humorously and thoughtfully, as Serval navigates a world of war and camaraderie amidst the backdrop of their military service. The stage is set for a tale that weaves together personal introspection with the harsh realities of conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
