Title : The Scarlet Sin - Jean Anglade - Book

Summary :

At the beginning of the 20th century, why did Duradieu, such a well-born man, become so cynical and wicked? Blinded by an accident, he gradually discovered his own humanity and the love of others, including that of the gentle Lucie.

In Auvergne, at the beginning of the 20th century.
Everything destined Georges Juradieu for a happy life: beauty, intelligence, respect, wealth. Everything was granted to him. But, while still a child, he witnessed the assassination of his father, a banker, by the son of a man whose Juradieu bank had led to ruin and suicide. Having become the son of a bankrupt banker, Georges then discovered human wickedness.
From now on, with rare cynicism and violence, he applies himself to being the most wicked everywhere, until he himself becomes a victim of his system: an accident "caused" by a foreman who hates him leaves him blind and disfigured.
So, from the depths of the night, slowly, Georges Juradieu becomes aware of the hidden side of man thanks to the demonstrations of kindness, patience, and attention towards him. But above all thanks to young Lucie, who will, with great love, destroy all his past errors and strip him of his old "aspic" skin...
