Summary "Couleurs. Contes nouveaux; suivis de Choses anciennes" by Remy de Gourmont is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores a series of interconnected narratives that delve into themes of desire, beauty, and human relationships, often intertwined with nature and color symbolism. The opening portion introduces various characters and their interactions, setting the stage for a contemplative exploration of emotions and experiences. At the start of the collection, Gourmont presents a vivid tapestry of life through the lenses of color and human connection. The opening narratives focus on a young couple who communicate their growing affection in wordless exchanges, alongside the contemplations of a hunter on their encounters. The setting is rich with descriptions of natural beauty, suggesting an idyllic yet complex backdrop for their emotions. As the stories progress, we encounter different characters, each navigating their own emotional landscapes, reflecting Gourmont's intent to fuse the poetic with the ordinary, ultimately illustrating the nuanced interplay of love and life.
