| Summary | "Corysandre" by Hector Malot is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the glamorous and competitive social scene of Paris and Baden-Baden, focusing on themes of love, rivalry, and the high stakes of gambling. Key characters include Prince Savine, a self-centered aristocrat who feels threatened by another gambler, Prince Otchakoff, and the beautiful young Corysandre, whose allure captivates multiple suitors and sparks jealousy. The opening of "Corysandre" introduces the thrilling rivalry between Prince Savine and Prince Otchakoff, two prominent figures in the gaming world. As the narrative sets in Baden, Savine becomes increasingly envious of Otchakoff's rising fame and fortune, prompting him to engage in gambling to reclaim his status. The arrival of the enchanting Corysandre, a young woman with a complex background, complicates matters further as Savine seeks her attention while navigating the fierce competition, including Otchakoff's nonchalant gambling prowess. This dynamic introduction establishes the foundation for themes of ambition, social power plays, and the pursuit of love amidst a backdrop of high societal expectations.
