Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sylvie: souvenirs du Valois" by Gérard de Nerval is a novella published in 1853. Set between memory and present, it follows a narrator haunted by his love for three unattainable women: Sylvie, a peasant girl from his youth; Aurélie, a seductive Parisian actress; and Adrienne, a noble beauty who enters a convent. Moving between past and present, the story explores unrequited love and lost ideals through lyrical prose that captivated writers from Proust to Breton, earning its place as a masterpiece of French Romanticism.
