La puritaine et l'amour by Robert de Traz
QR code
"La Puritaine et l’Amour" by Robert de Traz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to center around Clarisse, a woman characterized as a puritan and a model of moral virtue, whose life and interactions with other family members and social circles are explored in rich detail. The opening scenes set the stage for an in-depth examination of social norms, personal beliefs, and the intricacies of human
relationships within a bourgeois family in Geneva. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Clarisse through a lively dinner conversation where her purity and charitable nature are discussed by fellow diner Desnouettes. He describes her as a representative of a traditional Geneva, embodying virtues that contrast with the more liberated social attitudes around her. The dinner unfolds in the context of mixed company, highlighting various family members with distinct personalities and backgrounds. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of familial and societal expectations, creating a backdrop against which Clarisse’s interactions—particularly with Desnouettes, who is intrigued by her complexity—lay the groundwork for the narrative's exploration of themes like love, morality, and societal roles.
