The text focuses on the works of contemporary authors, particularly examining the novels of Octave Feuillet, reflecting on themes such as romance, aristocracy, and the evolution of literature. Lemaître expresses a deep admiration for Feuillet's storytelling and character development, particularly concerning the romanticized portrayal of love and sacrifice. The opening of the book introduces Lemaître's reflections on the earlier novels of Octave Feuillet, recalling the profound pleasure they brought to him during his youth. He highlights the characteristics of Feuillet's protagonists—distinguished, passionate, and often embroiled in dramatic love stories—while lamenting how modern literature has shifted towards a more realistic portrayal of life that lacks the charm and idealism of the past. Lemaître emphasizes the allure of romanticism, drawing parallels between the heightened emotions in Feuillet’s works and the yearning for a more beautiful existence. He sets the tone for deeper explorations of both the literary landscape of his time and the timeless themes that resonate throughout literature.
