Carl Reinecke
The Duke of Auge dreams that he is Cidrolin, living on a barge alone with his daughter, while Cidrolin dreams that he is the Duke of Auge, travelling through the history of France. They will meet in 1964. Carl Reinecke, a critic writing for the London "Times," has argued that this novel is an example of the archetypal "prodigal son" storyline.
