AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating numbered edition illustrated with 35 color soft varnish plates hors-texte by Omer Bouchery. This psychological and emotional novel, which deftly explores the themes of love, passion, art, jealousy, and the contradictions of the human soul within the refined circle of late 19th-century aristocratic and intellectual society.
The work tells the story of Thérèse Martin-Bellème, an elegant, cultivated, and independent woman, coming from a social milieu where appearances, social conventions, and personal ambitions occupy a central place.
Married to a man she respects but does not truly love, she leads a comfortable life yet inwardly is dissatisfied, seeking in travel, beauty, and human relationships an ideal that can give deeper meaning to her life.
During a stay in Italy, a country dear to Anatole France for its artistic and historical richness, she meets Jacques Dechartre, a passionate, intelligent, and sensitive sculptor, whose exceptional personality awakens in her new feelings.
