"D'un pays lointain: Miracles; Visages de femmes; Anecdotes" by Remy de Gourmont is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the themes of perception and existence, exploring the internal and external landscapes of its characters. Characters grapple with profound concepts such as identity, beauty, and the often dark experiences of life, showcasing Gourmont's unique narrative style. At the start of the collection, the narrator tells a haunting tale of a distant land where the inhabitants, including the narrator's parents, are blind, living in a gray and dark environment. The narrator's struggle against conformity leads to a significant moment when he flees to a vibrant, luminous forest that contrasts sharply with his previous existence. As the story unfolds, the focus shifts to the narrator's relationship with Armelle, a captivating figure whose innocence is eventually engulfed in tragedy, revealing Gourmont's exploration of love, beauty, and loss in a world that can be both enchanting and perilous. The opening establishes a tone of introspection and delves into philosophical musings, setting the stage for the themes that will resonate throughout the collection.
