Le docteur Thorne (Littérature étrangère (67))

The book offers both sharp observations of class and heartfelt characters. I wonder what led to this blend of satire and sentiment.

The social norms and morals are so vividly portrayed, but I’m curious if modern readers see it as authentic or a bit idealized.

The characters’ internal conflicts felt very real, and I’d love to know if there was a particular event or idea that motivated these themes.
