Through the character of Octave, Musset portrays a youth afflicted by spiritual emptiness, disillusionment, and the struggle to reconcile idealized love with harsh reality. The novel explores themes of passion, betrayal, melancholy, and the yearning for meaning in a disenchanted world.</p><p>Since its publication, the work has been praised for its emotional candor, lyrical prose, and psychological insight. Musset gives voice to the <em>mal du sicle</em>the "sickness of the century"that haunted many Romantic writers and thinkers. Octaves intense relationship with Brigitte reflects the romantic souls contradictions: the longing for purity versus the pull of self-destruction, and the desire for connection against the fear of disappointment.</p><p><em>The Confession of a Child of the Century</em> remains relevant today for its timeless depiction of inner conflict, love, and existential doubt. It stands as a moving reflection on youthful despair, the complexities of human emotion, and the search for meaning amid a world that often seems void of it.</p>...7166374The Confessions of a Child of the Century3535https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-confessions-of-a-child-of-the-century---alfred-de-musset-9786558949510/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7170789/image.jpg?v=638842252991270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
