Summary "Sapho" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story explores complex themes of love, passion, and societal expectations, primarily revolving around the lives of its central characters, Jean Gaussin, a young man preparing for a career in the consulate, and Fanny Legrand, an enigmatic woman with ties to the artistic world of Paris. The opening of "Sapho" introduces us to a vibrant scene at an extravagant ball held in the studio of a painter named Déchelette. Jean Gaussin, feeling out of place among the artistic elite, encounters Fanny, whose beauty and charm intrigue him. Their initial conversation hints at both a budding attraction and Jean's naïveté. As the festivities unfold, Jean becomes increasingly enamored with Fanny, despite feeling a growing tension about the hidden complexities of her character and her past. The narrative establishes a suggestive atmosphere filled with flirtation, art, and the thrill of newcomers, setting the stage for the unfolding relationship between Jean and Fanny amidst the glamour and difficulties of late 19th-century Parisian life.
