Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Very Woman (Sixtine): A Cerebral Novel" by Remy de Gourmont is a fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. The novel centers around the complex interactions and philosophical discussions between two main characters, Sixtine Magne, a widow, and Hubert d'Entragues, a man of letters. Their conversations delve into themes of desire, identity, and the nuances of love and human connection, all set against a backdrop rich with literary and existential reflection. The opening of the novel introduces Sixtine and Hubert during a walk beneath ancient fir trees, where their flirtation unfolds through an exchange of clever repartees and introspective musings. As they engage in their intellectual banter, glimpses of their backgrounds and personalities emerge. Hubert is drawn to Sixtine's enigmatic charm, while she navigates her own feelings and the dynamics of their budding relationship. The atmosphere is heightened by discussions on emotion and truth, culminating in a moment of tension as Sixtine expresses her fears and frustrations with past experiences. This opening serves as a foundation for the book's exploration of the dualities within relationships and the nature of desire.
