This etext was produced by David Widger
"Cosmopolis — Volume 4" by Paul Bourget is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the complex emotions and moral dilemmas faced by its characters, particularly focusing on Boleslas Gorka—a man deeply embroiled in themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for redemption. As he navigates his recent injuries from a duel, he grapples with jealousy and despair over a romantic past, attempting to make sense of his fractured relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Boleslas Gorka, who is recovering from a duel that left him with a broken arm. His thoughts reveal a tumultuous emotional landscape as he contemplates his grievances against those who have wronged him. Boleslas's frustration is exacerbated by the realization that his wife, Maud, has left him amid their crisis, and he struggles under the weight of his jealousy when he learns of her apparent indifference to his suffering. The narrative intricately portrays the intersections of love, resentment, and the societal expectations that bind the characters, hinting at deeper layers of conflict that set the tone for the unfolding drama.
