Translated by Florence Crewe-Jones

A classic novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young foundling named Remi, who is raised by a kind woman, Mother Barberin, until his life takes a significant turn when he learns he may have to leave her to go to a Foundlings’ Home. As he navigates through challenges, including learning about his origins and the harsh realities of his situation, Remi encounters various characters and experiences that shape his understanding of love, loyalty, and identity. The opening of ''Nobody's Boy'' introduces readers to Remi's early life in the village of Chavanon, where he initially believes he has a typical family life with his adoptive mother. However, a sudden visit from a man with news about his absent father marks the beginning of turmoil for Remi. As Mother Barberin struggles to keep him despite the pressure from her husband, Jerome, who wants to send Remi away, Remi grapples with his identity and the fear of losing the only mother he has ever known. This part sets the tone for an emotional and adventurous journey, hinting at themes of belonging and resilience that will continue to unfold throughout the novel.
