Publisher's Synopsis

This semi-autobiographical novel explores the disillusionment of a generation scarred by the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. The protagonist, Octave, experiences betrayal in love, leading him to a life of cynicism, debauchery, and introspection. Through Octave's inner turmoil, Musset examines themes of love, despair, and the existential crisis of youth in a changing world. The novel is a key work of French Romanticism, reflecting the angst and moral confusion of the era.
