The novel "Road to Nowhere" tells the dramatic fate of a family of "old aristocracy", its head, who squandered all the family fortune on mistresses, went bankrupt, and ended his life by suicide, leaving his wife and children destitute. Who will break under the weight of poverty and shame? Who, gritting their teeth, will survive difficult times to become a shrewd and cynical dealer? And who will find the strength to try to find a different, personal path in life? "The Mystery of the Frontenac Family" is the softest and most lyrical novel by Mauriac, in which literary scholars find autobiographical motives. A very unusual story of a family in France at the beginning of the 20th century. The family celebrates the principles of mutual love, understanding, and respect. It is from this family that a talented young writer emerges, who has no doubt about his calling. Life will not always be kind to him, but the family values instilled in childhood will help him cope with the difficulties, disappointments, and failures of adult life.
