HTML version by Al Haines. "Yvette" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel written during the late 19th century. It explores themes of love, social life, and the complexities of female relationships in a Parisian context, centering around the titular character, Yvette, the daughter of the Marquise Obardi, and her interactions with various suitors, including Jean de Servigny and Leon Saval. The opening of "Yvette" introduces readers to the lively Parisian nightlife through the conversation between Jean de Servigny and Leon Saval as they stroll along the boulevard after leaving a café. It sets the scene with vivid descriptions of the summer atmosphere and explores the friendship between the two men, with Jean teasing Saval about becoming infatuated with the Marquise Obardi, an enigmatic figure in the Parisian social scene, and her captivating daughter, Yvette. As Jean describes Yvette, he portrays her as an enchanting yet puzzling character who embodies conflicting notions of innocence and experience, setting the stage for a narrative that promises exploration of seduction, youthful desire, and the obscured boundaries of social class and morality.
