| Summary | "Adriani" by George Sand is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story explores themes of love, passion, and the complexities of human relationships through the lens of its main characters, notably d'Argères and the enigmatic Laure de Larnac, also known as "la désolée," who struggles with the loss of her husband. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a deeply introspective tale, beginning with a letter from Comtois to his wife, sharing his experiences as a servant to d'Argères. Comtois reflects on the peculiarities of his new master, hinting at d'Argères' aversion to societal norms and his romanticized views on love and relationships. This section introduces d'Argères in a light that suggests both charm and discontent, as he becomes captivated by the mysterious widow, Laure, who lives in solitude gripping with grief. The contrasts between their worlds—the societal pressures and personal tragedies—begin to unfold, establishing a rich backdrop for the exploration of love's enduring nature amidst sorrow.
