Delly
Entre Deux Ames
Produced by Daniel Fromont
"Entre Deux Ames" by Delly is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book explores themes surrounding social class and marriage by focusing on the complex personal life of its main character, Elie de Ghiliac, a marquis contemplating a second marriage after a troubled first one. He seeks a suitable bride who can be a mother to his daughter while adhering to strict conditions regarding her demeanor and lifestyle. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Elie de Ghiliac during an aristocratic gathering celebrating his recent recognition within the Académie. Elie is depicted as a strikingly handsome and somewhat jaded figure who admits to his cousin, M. d'Essil, that he intends to remarry—not for love, but to fulfill social obligations and settle down. Following a lighthearted discussion about his ideal bride, M. d'Essil suggests Valderez de Noclare, a young woman from a struggling family in the countryside. As Elie considers this prospect, the narrative reveals Valderez's life at the Hauts-Sapins, where she dutifully cares for her family while feeling out of place in the world of affluent society. The opening establishes a tension between Elie's desires and Valderez's modest upbringing, framing the central conflict of the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
