L'allée du jardin du Luxembourg où Jean Monneron se tenait aux aguets, était située dans la partie de ce vaste enclos qui a le plus changé depuis ces dernières années, à l'angle de la rue d'Assas et de la rue Auguste-Comte. Le groupe des constructions toutes récentes où sont installés le lycée Montaigne, l'École coloniale et celle de pharmacie a complètement modifié et banalisé le pittoresque aspect de ce coin de Paris, que la disparition de la Pépinière avait bien altéré, dès la fin de l'Empire.

Roman d'analyse et d'éducation pour les générations nouvelles de l'époque, ce chef-d'œuvre de Paul Bourget est aussi un roman à thèse puisque l'écrivain y dénonce la responsabilité du maître à penser et accuse la science moderne de s'être substituée à la religion sans fournir de morale.
