Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "La Bella Venere (La Belle Vénus)" by Théo Varlet is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives likely explore themes of love, adventure, and the complexities of human relationships set against picturesque backdrops, often reflecting the lush and vibrant settings of Mediterranean locales. The stories seem to be woven with elements of romance and conflict, featuring characters drawn into dramatic situations. The opening of this work introduces a painter and his wife, Miette, on their honeymoon in a charming Mediterranean port. As the couple enjoys the intoxicating atmosphere of Provence, they encounter Bartolomeo, a ship captain who offers to take them on an adventurous journey aboard his vessel, the Bella-Venere. What starts as a romantic escapade soon hints at darker undertones as the painter overhears unsettling conversations among the crew, suggesting nefarious intentions. This intriguing premise sets the stage for a tale that contrasts idyllic experiences with growing tension and danger, promising readers a mix of beauty and suspense to come.
