Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Clarimonde" by Théophile Gautier is a short story published in 1836. A young priest named Romuald encounters a beautiful woman on his ordination day, igniting a forbidden passion that conflicts with his religious vows. When he later discovers she is a vampire, he faces an impossible choice between his sacred duties and his deepest desires. This Gothic tale explores the boundaries between life and death, dream and reality, as Romuald lives a double existence torn between two irreconcilable worlds.
