The story begins in a time of war and explores themes of gender dynamics, societal norms, and the role of women through the interactions of its male characters, particularly Prince Michael Fedor Lubimoff and his guests. The prince expresses his belief that life would be better without women, creating a foundation for a discussion about masculinity and the complexities of relationships. At the start of the novel, a luxurious luncheon at Villa Sirena is interrupted by the noise of a passing military train filled with soldiers. The table is set with the varied characters, including the prince and his guests—a colonel, a gambler, a professor, and a pianist—all engaging in conversations about life, war, and the women they encounter. The prince proposes they exclude women from their lives, suggesting a quasi-monastic existence among men. His guests react with a mixture of surprise and mockery to this idea, but they eventually agree to the name "the enemies of women." It sets the stage for exploring conflicting views on femininity and masculinity in a turbulent world shaped by war.
