About This Book

Un narrateur surprend une jeune femme au bord d'une rivière, pâle et en proie au chagrin, qui déchire lettres, brise bagues et jette rubans et présents à l'eau. Elle raconte comment un homme d'une beauté et d'un éloquence remarquables a suscité l'admiration générale et conquis les coeurs; malgré ses scrupules d'honneur, elle succombe à sa séduction puis se trouve trompée et abandonnée. Le récit met en lumière la puissance du paraître et de la parole pour manipuler les passions, la douleur de la trahison amoureuse et la fragilité de la réputation féminine face à la perfidie masculine.
