In questo terzo libro della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret si riconcilia finalmente con la vita. Diventato professore titolare, acquisita la dolce compagnia di un cane, continua, fra riflessioni filosofiche e prese di posizioni politiche del tutto scomode riguardanti l’affare Dreyfus, ad accompagnarci nel viaggio di questa Francia in cui governi radicali e conservatori si alternano, e in cui l’antisemitismo viene considerato patriottico.

With gentle yet biting irony, France challenges the Spencerian belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man, though his irony reveals his sympathy for man's weaknesses and his need for social institutions.

I 1700-talets Paris arbetar huvudpersonen Jacques som stekvändare i sin fars stekstuga Drottning Gåsfot. När stekstugan en dag får besök av abbé Coignard får Jacques ett erbjudande: mot fri mat ska abbén undervisa honom i latin, grekiska och kristendom. Det visar sig att den försupne abbén har minst sagt okonventionella föreställningar om vad ett kristet leverne innebär.

No, they would much rather they put our nerves on edge, that our skin would begin to crawl and that the cold sweat of fear propels our pulse and heartbeat to nightmare-inducing trauma.
