The book explores deep themes such as identity, compassion, and the transitory nature of human connections, as seen through the perspective of the enigmatic character Monelle. The narrative delves into the complexities of life, love, and loss through various evocative stories intertwined with Monelle’s philosophical reflections. The opening of the novel introduces Monelle, who encounters a narrator wandering through a plain. Their conversation reveals Monelle's dual nature – a being that embodies both presence and absence. She speaks of loneliness, fleeting connections, and compassion, referring to the tender yet tragic lives of young women, likened to "small prostitutes," who come forth for a brief moment to offer solace. As she shares poignant tales of historical figures like Napoleon and Dostoevsky, Monelle emphasizes the impermanence of human experiences and the necessity of destruction for rebirth, setting the stage for the philosophical exploration that will unfold throughout the novel.
