Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from scanned images of public domain material from the Google Books project.) "Le dessous : roman" by Rachilde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Marguerite, a young woman navigating her dull and sheltered life, filled with literary escapism and societal expectations. The opening chapters explore her introspective thoughts and her interactions with the natural and social world around her, reflecting on beauty, order, and the expectations placed upon women during this time. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Marguerite, who is found in her pristine room, often lost in the books she reads, which serve as both an escape and a source of discomfort. While contemplating her surroundings and her family's expectations, she steps outside to admire the lush gardens of Flachère. This seemingly idyllic setting quickly shifts when she encounters an enigmatic figure—initially mistaken for a scarecrow—who turns out to be a man in search of sustenance. Their interaction hints at underlying tensions between societal classes and personal desires, setting the stage for further exploration of deeper themes of social order, identity, and rebellion against the norms that dictate their lives.
