"Paula Monti; or, The Hôtel Lambert" by M. Eugène Sue is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds in the Parisian high society of 1837, focusing on themes of love, jealousy, and social intrigue. The narrative centers around Madame de Hansfeld, a mysterious princess, and the various men enchanted by her beauty, including M. de Morville and M. de Brévannes, who have complicated relationships and secrets that intertwine their fates. At the start of the novel, readers find themselves at the Opera-ball, where a lively conversation ensues among fashionable attendees about the elusive Princess de Hansfeld and her distant husband, who hardly appears in society. Different characters speculate about the princess's beauty and the mysteries surrounding her life, hinting at deeper secrets and connections. Simultaneously, we are introduced to M. de Morville, who secretly admires the princess and actively avoids her for reasons tied to a personal oath. This rich backdrop sets the stage for unfolding drama and entanglements involving hidden feelings, jealousy, and the consequences of intrigue in high society, compelling readers to delve deeper into the lives of these complex characters.
