"Luxury--Gluttony: Two of the Seven Cardinal Sins" by Eugène Sue is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of morality and excess through the lens of its characters, particularly focusing on Count Frantz de Neuberg, who is portrayed as a timid young man caught within the luxurious and decadent atmosphere of his surroundings, including relationships hinted to be filled with innocence and beauty. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the grand setting of the Élysée-Bourbon Palace, where young secretaries and court members discuss the royal presence of Archduke Leopold Maximilian and his godson, Count Frantz. As the chatter unfolds, they draw attention to Count Frantz’s contrasting nature, depicting him as a brave figure who appears timid, suggesting complexity in character dynamics amidst courtly life. A sense of intrigue builds as personal relationships and social status are explored, particularly through Frantz's interactions with a young girl named Antonine, hinting at possible romantic developments, while the narrative also hints at the darker motivations of other characters, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of desires and ambitions intertwined within themes of luxury and sin.
