✅ Summary -

The novel takes place over 48 hours in 1938 Paris. The protagonist, Mathieu, is a philosophy teacher who prides himself on being "free" by avoiding any permanent commitments or social ties.
The conflict begins when his long-term mistress, Marcelle, reveals she is pregnant. Mathieu’s immediate reaction is to seek an abortion—not because he dislikes Marcelle, but because a child represents a permanent "tether" to the conventional world.
