STORY: author had thought of qualifying this book: A Novel Without Hypocrisy or A Physiological Novel. The main theme is a human passion. A young girl is not merely a young heart, but a young human body, all complete. Such is the subject of this novel, which must, in spite of everything, be called "physiological." Remy de Gourmont possessed one of the acutest and freest minds of his own age. He received no public honours, died poor, but since his death his books have rapidly achieved a wide circulation which continually increases. We are glad to present you one of his literary works. Enjoy the reading.
