Summary | "La Poupée Sanglante" by Gaston Leroux is a novel of adventure and mystery written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bénédict Masson, an artistic bookbinder living in the tranquil yet peculiar Île-Saint-Louis in Paris. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at a dark secret involving his infatuation with a beautiful sculptor named Christine and her enigmatic family dynamics, which are soon intertwined with a chilling crime. The opening of the novel introduces Bénédict Masson, who leads a seemingly mundane life as a bookbinder while harboring poetic ambitions. Set against the backdrop of the quaint Île-Saint-Louis, the narrative quickly unveils his obsession with Christine, the daughter of a mysterious horologist. One fateful night, Bénédict secretly witnesses Christine embracing a hidden man in an armoire, leading to a dramatic sequence of events involving an ill-fated love and a violent confrontation. The stage is set for a complex tale where themes of beauty, love, and morbid intrigue intertwine, with Bénédict caught in the web of a profound mystery that could change his life forever.
