520			_a"Excelsior: Roman parisien" by Léonce de Larmandie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Jacques de Mérigue, a dreamer marked by his lofty ambitions and a desire to navigate the upper echelons of society, complicated by his impoverished background. The narrative navigates themes of aspiration, identity, and the complex dynamics of social class in Paris. The opening of the novel sets the stage at a Jesuit seminary where young boys discuss their future ambitions. Jacques de Mérigue stands out with his grand aspirations, wanting to be an emperor and expressing disdain for societal norms. As he faces various challenges, including academic failure and social rejection, we learn about his family's unwavering support and expectations. The complexities of his life begin to unfold as he becomes embroiled in political ambitions and romantic entanglements, notably with the wealthy Blanche de Vannes, propelling the narrative towards a clash between dreams and reality.
