| Summary | "Acté" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in ancient times, it revolves around the life of Acté, a young and beautiful Corinthian woman who becomes the mistress of the infamous Emperor Nero. The narrative offers a glimpse into her life against the backdrop of Nero's tyrannical reign, combining themes of love, power, and the struggle for personal agency. The opening of "Acté" introduces us to the titular character, a radiant young girl admired for her beauty as she leaves Corinth for a day of flower picking. As she encounters a ship arriving from Délos, she is captivated by the crew's music and the promise of adventure. The arrival of Lucius, a young Roman who aims to compete for various prizes, sets the stage for a relationship filled with intrigue and budding romance. Their interaction foreshadows a connection that transcends the societal and political tensions of their respective worlds, while Acté's experience of love and fate becomes central to the unfolding drama.
