520			_a"Der Hafen" by Norbert Jacques is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers on Baptist Biver, a sensitive, wayward young man in a small city, caught between music, illicit temptations, and the rigid expectations of his domineering father, with his loyal sister Jeanne as his moral and emotional anchor. The story appears to probe small‑town mores, class pretenses, and the yearning for inner change, with the fairground and an Italian performer amplifying Baptist’s conflict between desire and self‑respect. The opening of the novel presents an intimate household: Jeanne plays piano while Baptist drifts between reverie and resentment, their father Alois intruding with harsh discipline and scorn. Baptist confesses exam anxiety, hints at a secret fascination with Rosa, a tambourine player at the Schobermesse, and then impulsively steals gold coins from his father’s safe before dinner. Later he slips out to the fair, sits with two acquaintances, lavishes champagne on the Italian band, and is both soothed and inflamed by the music, even taking the violin himself. A notorious brawler, Heng, insults him and his family’s money, triggering a fight in which Baptist is struck and bloodied; the crowd disperses, and a few tough schoolmates hustle him away and help him search fruitlessly for the Italians. Near dawn, tired and chastened, he rides home through the empty streets, wavering between lust and restraint and thinking of Jeanne’s regard. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
