About this eBook

Author Gourmont, Remy de, 1858-1915
Title Un cœur virginal
Credits Produced by Marc D'Hooghe
Summary "Un cœur virginal" by Remy de Gourmont is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around the complex relationships between the main characters, M. Hervart, a middle-aged museum conservator, and Rose, a young girl full of innocence and budding emotions. The novel explores themes of sexuality, innocence, and the physiological aspects of love through their interactions. At the start of the novel, M. Hervart is observed in a rural setting, where he encounters the youthful Rose, who is picking blackberries. Their playful banter reveals Rose’s innocence and Hervart's conflicting feelings towards her, oscillating between admiration and a troubling desire. As their friendship blossoms, internal monologues from both characters hint at deeper emotional currents beneath their innocent exchanges, setting the stage for a poignant examination of love's complexities, attraction, and the inevitable loss of innocence. The opening establishes a rich, intimate atmosphere that invites readers to consider the fragile boundaries between friendship and romantic love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
