Summary "Neljä päivää" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work appears to explore themes of love, youth, and the natural world's influence on human emotions through the experiences of its main character, Jean Gourdon, who is living in a rural setting. His relationships, particularly with his uncle Lazare and a young girl named Babet, are central to the narrative as he navigates the challenges of adolescence and the discussions about destiny and duty. The beginning of this novel introduces us to Jean Gourdon, waking up to a beautiful spring morning at his uncle Lazare's home. He eagerly sneaks away to the banks of the Durance River, hoping to catch a glimpse of Babet, the girl he's infatuated with. Their innocent interactions reveal Jean's youthful longing and the awakening of his feelings for her. Lazare Uncle, who seeks to guide Jean towards a scholarly path, notices Jean's growing attachment and hints at the ring of duties and responsibilities tied to adulthood. As the morning unfolds, Jean's internal monologue is interlaced with descriptions of the vibrant spring, symbolizing hope and the blossoming potential of both nature and his budding romantic aspirations.
