Summary: "Le parfum des îles Borromées" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily around the experiences of Gabriel Dompierre and his friend Dante-Léonard-William Lee as they travel by boat across Lake Maggiore, captivated by the beauty of the Borromean Islands. Central to the narrative is Gabriel's fascination with a mysterious woman, referred to as the "Sirène," who ignites his imagination and desire, hinting at themes of longing and idealized love. At the start of the story, the characters are aboard the steamship "Reine-Marguerite", venturing into the enchanting landscape surrounding the Borromean Islands. The evening air is electrified with romantic possibilities, heightened by Gabriel's encounter with a beautiful woman and her child, which leaves him spellbound. Alongside his poetic friend, who revels in his creative visions, Gabriel's burgeoning interest in this woman, Madame Belvidera, sets the stage for a complex interplay of emotions and desires. As they dock at Baveno, both the tangible beauty of their surroundings and the intangible allure of unattainable love begin to intertwine, compelling Gabriel to pursue an elusive connection with this enchanting figure.
