L'échéance

Léonce de Bormes, ancien député de gauche, marie sa fille Geneviève à Victor, un industriel issu d'une famille modeste. Confronté à la dérive de sa propre existence et à la jalousie de ses amis, Léonce devient de plus en plus amer et décide de régler ses comptes avec le monde. Ce roman psychologique, publié en 1898, est l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre de Paul Bourget et offre une critique violente de la bourgeoisie française.
