The book captures the essence of Parisian life through a series of vignettes that explore themes of beauty, decadence, and the artistic milieu. Through its narrative, Lorrain offers a rich tapestry of characters, emotions, and the sensory delights of the city, making it a potential treat for readers interested in the complexities of urban existence during a transformative period. The opening of the novel sets a reflective tone, with an homage to the late poet Georges Rodenbach. It begins on January 1, evoking the melancholic atmosphere of a new year while lamenting the losses suffered in the artistic community. Lorrain muses on the impact of 1898 as a year of death for numerous talents, interspersing his prose with poetic references to Rodenbach's work and the weight of memory. The narrative weaves in snippets of conversations among characters, discussing their experiences at Parisian theaters and the cultural scene, hinting at the vibrant yet tumultuous life that permeates the city. Overall, the beginning establishes a poignant exploration of nostalgia, art, and the fragile beauty of life in Paris. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
