Summary: "For a Night of Love" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a small town, the book explores the themes of love, desire, and moral complexity through the eyes of the protagonist, Julien Michon, whose unrequited feelings lead him into a web of dark circumstances. It delves into the intricacies of human relationships and the crushing weight of societal expectations. The story follows Julien, a socially awkward clerk, who becomes infatuated with the aloof Therese de Marsanne, a beautiful young woman living in a grand mansion across from his window. Initially captivated by her grace and mystery, Julien's love turns into obsession when, after a series of chance encounters and his music drawing Therese's attention, he is thrust into a tragic scenario. Therese, caught in a passionate but tumultuous romance with Colombel, inadvertently kills him during a struggle. Seeking help to hide the crime, she manipulates Julien into disposing of the body, thereby intertwining their fates in a disastrous manner. The plot unfolds with intense emotional turmoil, leading to a dark conclusion that reflects the brutal reality of love and betrayal. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
