| Summary | "Zibeline — Volume 1" by marquis de Philippe Massa is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century, specifically during the period of the Second Empire in France. The story centers around a unique and spirited heroine named Valentine de Vermont, nicknamed Zibeline, who inherits a substantial fortune from her father after his passing. The narrative delves into her adventures in Parisian society, where she is known for her unconventional charm, opulence, and generosity, raising eyebrows and envy among the elite. The book follows Zibeline as she navigates her new life in Paris, a city brimming with social intricacies and flamboyant characters. After inheriting her father's wealth, she embarks on a mission of restitution to a man from whom her father had won his fortune at play, leading her into the tumultuous world of high-stakes gambling and the pursuit of love. Throughout the story, Zibeline's vibrant personality and her interaction with various characters, including a dashing young officer, provide readers with delightful insights into the opulent yet often superficial world of Parisian high society. The author paints a picture of societal norms and romantic pursuits, creating a lush backdrop for a tale of adventure, love, and social commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
