Physiologie de l'amour moderne
Produced by Anne Dreze and Marc D'Hooghe.
"Physiologie de l'amour moderne" by Paul Bourget is a literary work written during the late 19th century. The book explores the complexities of love and relationships, particularly focusing on the emotional turmoil experienced by a character named Claude Larcher, who navigates the painful aftermath of heartbreak and infidelity. It provides a reflection on modern romantic relationships in a rapidly evolving societal landscape, shifting between philosophical musings and intimate musings on love. The opening of the work presents a preface that sets the stage for a collection of posthumous fragments left by Larcher. The narrator expresses a mix of admiration and concern for Larcher's writings, which are filled with personal reflections on his tumultuous love life, particularly regarding a woman named Colette Rigaud. As Larcher's feelings oscillate between love and profound resentment, the narrative hints at themes of jealousy, desire for vengeance, and the struggle to comprehend love's complex nature. He grapples with memories and visceral emotions, leading to analytical commentary on the state of love and relationships among contemporary society. The tone is introspective and contemplative, inviting readers into Larcher's troubled psyche. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
