Set in rural Brittany, it follows a farming couple whose children are born with intellectual disabilities. As the strain of their circumstances intensifies, Jean-Pierre and Susan Bacadou face mounting desperation about their family's future and the farm's succession. The story builds toward a violent climax involving murder and suicide, all framed by the narrator's encounter with "the idiots" on a country road. Conrad's first published story explores themes of isolation and human desperation. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/63893 ER -
