| Summary | "L'Œuvre" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around Claude, a passionate artist wandering through the bustling streets of Paris during a stormy night, setting the stage for themes of artistic aspiration and the struggles of creative life. In the opening, Claude encounters a young girl named Christine who has been abandoned by a cocher, leading to an unexpected turn of events that draws them together. The opening of L'Œuvre introduces Claude as he roams the Parisian streets, his artist's sensibility at odds with the reality of the external world. Just as he arrives home, he unexpectedly finds Christine, a frightened young girl, seeking refuge after a mishap during her journey to the city. Despite his initial skepticism and gruff demeanor, he offers her shelter from the storm, leading to moments of tension and vulnerability as both characters navigate their individual fears and desires. This encounter sets the stage for the exploration of artistic ambition and the complex relationships between men and women, against the backdrop of a vibrant yet harsh Parisian society.
