| Summary | "Aline et Valcour, ou Le Roman Philosophique. Tome 1" by marquis de Sade is a philosophical novel written in the late 18th century. This work explores the intricate relationships and struggles between the characters Aline and Valcour amidst a backdrop of societal norms and personal desires, showcasing Sade's distinctive intertwining of romance and philosophical discourse. At the start of the novel, the correspondence begins with Déterville writing to Valcour, expressing curiosity about Valcour's absence during a dinner that was supposed to include Aline. As the letters unfold, readers are introduced to Aline, who is torn between her affections for Valcour and her father's authoritative expectations regarding her marriage to the wealthy yet disagreeable M. d'Olbourg. The opening letters establish a strong emotional charge, setting the stage for themes of love, societal pressures, and the pursuit of happiness amid constraints, while hinting at the turmoil and comedic misunderstandings that will ensue as the characters navigate their desires and obligations.
