Summary "L'infâme" by Edmond About is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Parisian high society, focusing on the struggles of its main character, Jean-Pierre Gautripon, who suffers from societal disdain due to his perceived role as a manipulated husband. The book explores themes of infamy, reputation, and the complexities of human relationships in a world dominated by wealth and social status. At the start of the narrative, the bustling Parisian society is depicted, particularly through the lavish gatherings at the Gautripon home, where Jean-Pierre's wife, Émilie, enjoys a life of luxury supported by her wealthy lover, Léon Bréchot. Gautripon, once an esteemed member of the community, is now ridiculed and referred to as "the infame," a term reflecting the public's contempt for his situation. As the scene unfolds, we learn of his painful existence amid rumors and mockery, showcasing the hypocrisy of a society that both celebrates wealth and condemns moral transgressions. The opening portion sets the stage for a tale filled with intrigue, betrayal, and the quest for personal dignity in a morally ambiguous world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
