| Summary | "Extaze: Een Boek van Geluk" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with the character Dolf van Attema, who visits his sister-in-law Cecile van Even, creating a richly atmospheric setting that explores themes of intimacy, memory, and the complexity of human relationships. The narrative introduces the dynamics between Dolf, Cecile, and the children, hinting at underlying emotions and tensions that develop among the characters. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of Dolf as he waits in Cecile's stylish parlor filled with delicate furnishings and the scent of violets. As he chats with Cecile, their conversation reveals nuances in their personalities, particularly her struggle with loneliness after the loss of her husband. The chapter transitions between moments of lighthearted banter and deeper reflections on life and relationships, establishing a dreamlike introspection in Cecile as she contemplates her past and current feelings of melancholy and isolation. This complex interplay foreshadows the emotional depth and philosophical explorations that are likely to unfold throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
