"Call No Man Happy" follows the life of Bertrand, a brilliant but flawed man born into privilege in early 20th century France. Driven by ambition and haunted by insecurities, Bertrand relentlessly pursues happiness through wealth, social status, and romantic conquests. He marries the wealthy and beautiful Germaine, yet finds no lasting fulfillment, drifting into affairs and political intrigue.

As he navigates the turbulent years leading up to World War II, Bertrand witnesses the decay of the old order and experiences personal tragedy. He loses loved ones, faces financial ruin, and confronts his own moral failings. Ultimately, he realizes that true happiness cannot be found in external possessions or fleeting pleasures. The novel serves as a poignant exploration of the human condition, questioning the very definition of happiness and suggesting it resides in acceptance, self-awareness, and genuine human connection rather than worldly success.
