Suivi de pages inédites" by Villiers de l'Isle-Adam is a collection of literary pieces written in the early 20th century. This work explores various themes through a mix of whimsical fantasies and satirical pamphlets, reflecting on the peculiarities of human relationships and the complexities of societal norms. The narratives often delve into the depths of characters' motives, such as the enigmatic couple Thermidor and Lucrèce Moutonnet. The beginning of this collection introduces us to Thermidor Moutonnet, who, in the midst of the French Revolution, discusses an impending guillotine execution with his friend Fouquier-Tinville. Moutonnet's humorous yet dark proposal reveals his deep-seated issues within his marriage to Lucrèce, leading to an absurd and twisted scenario where he contemplates sacrificing her for the sake of his own troubled feelings. The dialogue encapsulates a blend of comedy and tragedy, setting the tone for the exploration of love, betrayal, and existential musings that continues throughout the collection.
