Summary "A Virgin Heart: A Novel" by Remy de Gourmont is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The novel explores themes of innocence, desire, and the complexities of human emotions through its characters, particularly focusing on the young girl Rose and her interactions with M. Hervart, a man in his forties who grapples with his feelings towards her. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a rustic setting where Rose, a free-spirited young woman, spends her time in nature while M. Hervart, a somewhat older man, observes her and reflects on the nature of love and their emerging relationship. As they interact, an innocent flirtation develops, juxtaposed against M. Hervart's internal conflict between his desires and societal expectations. The opening portion sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of their relationship, with themes of innocence, desire, and the gradual progression from youthful games to more serious emotions hinting at the complexities ahead.
