Les oiseaux s'envolent et les fleurs tombent by Elémir Bourges
"Les oiseaux s'envolent et les fleurs tombent" by Elémir Bourges is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the turbulent backdrop of political upheaval in , specifically during the Paris Commune, exploring themes of love, identity, and social unrest. The narrative introduces a complex tapestry of characters, notably Floris, a young man navigating the chaos of his origins and the tumult of the times. The opening of the novel presents a dramatic scene in Paris, where a man wandering through the Père-Lachaise cemetery encounters a surreal and violent atmosphere marked by flames and the sounds of battle. The narrative quickly shifts to a dialogue that captures the essence of the Commune, with characters discussing the fate of a recently executed man and the ensuing frenzy of rebellion. A mysterious feverish character emerges, revealing connections to Floris and hinting at deep family secrets.
