| Summary | "Dieudonat: Roman" by Edmond Haraucourt is a fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book introduces the character of Dieudonat, a prince born under extraordinary circumstances, combining elements of fantasy and moral exploration as it sets the stage for his journey through power, humility, and the burdens of leadership. At the start of the tale, the story revolves around the birth of Prince Dieudonat, who is said to be blessed with virtues from numerous saints and an added gift from the Devil—a conditional that all his wishes will be granted. The initial chapters detail the concerns of his parents, Duke Hardouin and Duchess Mahaut, regarding their lack of an heir and the implications it has on their kingdom. The narrative touches on themes of legitimacy, power dynamics, and social hierarchy through the lens of Dieudonat's childhood, his precocious nature, and the relationships he forms, particularly with his tutor, Dom Ambrosius. The opening sets a whimsical and contemplative tone, inviting readers to consider the implications of having one's wishes come true and the responsibilities that accompany power.
