As the son of a government official, Adolphe has a privilege of comfortable wealth and access to a good education, however, he feels trapped in routine, boredom, and a bleak world. Shaped by his childhood, Adolphe has a melancholy outlook on life, turning him into an introverted young man. After he graduates from college, Adolphe struggles to find fulfillment, so he travels to Germany for an adventure. There, he feels overwhelmed and displeased by the stupidity he perceives from society, earning him a reputation for an unpleasant wit. While he is just looking for fun, Adolphe meets Ellénore, a thirty-two-year-old Polish refugee. Though she has a husband and two kids, Adolphe is enamored by her. As if it were a game, Adolphe is dedicated to seducing Ellénore, but soon finds himself deeply in love with her. They engage in an illicit affair, riddled with jealousy, secrets, and lust. Despite these qualities, and that Ellénore is ten years older than Adolphe and married, they share a significant love for each other. However, they are quickly shunned from society when their affair is made public, causing Adolphe to worry that their relationship could affect his future endeavors. When Ellénore makes the sacrifice of leaving her family behind to fully commit to him, Adolphe must decide if he is willy to do the same for her.

À propos de l?auteur
Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was a Swiss-French political activist and writer. As an author, Constant focused on topics of political theory and religion. He was the leader of the Independent party in 1800, gaining him many powerful political connections. Constant's views of political theory and religion refined the concept of liberty, and has an immeasurable influence on society today. With the belief that true liberty allows an individual to be free of interference from the state or society, Constant's philosophy inspired revolutions in five countries, and have lasting effects on modern politics.
