The Bourget, Paul 1852-1935 creator text utu 2024 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Disciple" by Paul Bourget is a novel published in 1889. A young philosophy student applies his mentor's deterministic theories as a cold experiment on a nobleman's daughter, with tragic consequences. Inspired by a real murder case, this psychological thriller questions whether modern intellectuals bear responsibility when their ideas influence impressionable minds. The work marked Bourget's shift toward moral and Catholic themes, transforming a sensational crime story into a profound examination of science, faith, and the dangerous allure of treating human hearts as laboratory subjects.
