"A Rogue's Tragedy" by Bernard Capes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a romantic and philosophical context, exploring themes of love, desire, and the complexities of human relationships during a tumultuous period in European history. The central characters include Yolande, the daughter of a penniless nobleman, and Louis-Marie, a passionate young man from a respected family, who becomes enraptured by Yolande, setting the stage for intrigue and conflict as societal and familial pressures collide. At the start of the novel, the opening prologue introduces profound reflections on love, presenting it as a divine and foundational force in the lives of the characters. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Alps, Yolande and Louis-Marie's relationship blossoms amidst their awakening feelings for one another, tied to their spiritual beliefs and social conventions. However, their budding romance encounters the disapproving figures of their respective stations, notably Yolande’s father, who is desperate to secure her future through a marriage to the wealthy, yet morally dubious, Count di Rocco. This creates a tension that hints at heartbreak and betrayal, encapsulating the tragic elements at the heart of the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
