| Summary | "Gloria Victis!" by Ossip Schubin is a novel written in the late 19th century. It unfolds in Paris during a time of social upheaval, reflecting the tensions between the established aristocracy and emerging wealthy financiers. The narrative centers around the lives of the Truyn family, particularly focusing on the young Gabrielle and her potential suitors, including the ambitious son of the wealthy Count Capriani, setting the stage for an exploration of love, class, and social expectations. The opening of the novel introduces the Baroness Melkweyser, who is on a mission to discuss a marriage proposal involving Gabrielle Truyn. The setting is established in the sophisticated but somewhat dreary atmosphere of post-Lent Paris, where the characters are grappling with personal desires and societal pressures. The Truyn family dynamics are also highlighted, along with the burgeoning romance between Gabrielle and her cousin Oswald. As the baroness broaches the topic of marriage, the contrasting views on love and social status are immediately set at odds, promising a rich narrative full of emotional conflict and critique of societal norms.
