Summary "Jeunesse" by Charles Wagner is a philosophical reflection written in the late 19th century. This work explores the nature of youth and the challenges it faces in a rapidly changing society. The author draws upon personal experiences with young men from various backgrounds to discuss their struggles and aspirations, advocating for a return to human values amidst the crises of modern civilization. The opening of the book introduces Wagner's exploration of contemporary youth, outlining how this generation approaches life with a mixture of skepticism and hope. He notes the distinctive struggles young people face, contrasting their varied backgrounds and emphasizing the common challenges they encounter. Wagner addresses the impact of modern civilization on youth, particularly the tension between scientific advancement and spiritual fulfillment, suggesting that the essence of being young lies in balancing hope and realism as they grapple with their place in a complex world. Overall, the beginning sets the tone for a deep analysis of the struggles, hopes, and responsibilities that define the youth of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
