Une nuit au Luxembourg. English
A Night in the Luxembourg
"A Night in the Luxembourg" by Remy de Gourmont is a philosophical romance written in the early 20th century. This novel intertwines romantic narrative with deep philosophical discussions, exploring themes such as love, divinity, and human existence. The story appears to center on a character who experiences a profound encounter with a divine figure while reflecting on the essence of life and its pleasures. The opening of the narrative introduces a character who, feeling intoxicated yet lucid, begins to recount an extraordinary experience he had in the Luxembourg Gardens. He is captivated by a mysterious figure, who turns out to be a divine entity, leading to a series of profound conversations that delve into philosophy, love, and the nature of existence. The protagonist is enraptured by the beauty of the gardens and the divine figure’s insights, which include reflections on the relationship between gods and mortals, the fleeting nature of happiness, and the pursuit of pleasure. This opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of life, love, and philosophical inquiry through the lens of a transcendent experience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
