The Epic of the Nameless - Volume 1 - Metamorphosis

Gilbert Chalus is an ordinary man with an extraordinary logic. To him, every event, every detail of daily life deserves a specific experiment. An obsessive seeker of invisible connections between things, he unwittingly sets off a chain of improbable incidents, leading to a disconcerting encounter with a young woman who, against all odds, takes an interest in him. Torn between his desire to pursue this relationship and his strict adherence to the principles instilled by his upbringing, he embarks on an existential quest where each decision becomes a trial. As his world begins to crumble, unexpected truths come to light: What if his entire life were nothing but an illusion?

The Epic of the Nameless is a profound and humorous coming-of-age novel that celebrates the quiet grandeur of ordinary people and their ability to free themselves from the chains that bind them.
