| Summary | "Archipel" by Pierre Louÿs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative leads us into a rich, dreamlike world filled with sensuality and emotional intricacies, centering around a character named Néphélis who awaits someone in the depths of night, revealing themes of desire, fear, and madness. The opening of "Archipel" introduces us to Néphélis, a young woman cloaked in mystery, who waits in apprehension by her garden door on a night filled with darkness and the scent of nature. As she eagerly anticipates an encounter with her lover, an unexpected figure—a ragged man claiming to be the King of Egypt—enters her life, disrupting her plans and unveiling a perilous confrontation. The tension escalates as Néphélis grapples with her vulnerability and the encroaching madness of her intruder, leading to a dramatic struggle between her desires and the grotesque reality she faces.
