Set in the refined yet restless world of Europe's cosmopolitan elite, *Cosmopolis* follows a French intellectual navigating the moral complexities of high society in Rome. As he becomes entangled with exiles, aristocrats, and idealists, his ideals confront harsh truths about decadence, faith, and human contradiction. Through philosophical reflection and emotional tension, the novel explores the collapse of certainty in an age of modernity. It's a portrait of a man-and a world-teetering between conviction and collapse.
Paul Charles Joseph Bourget (1852-1935) was a French novelist and critic. He was admitted to the Académie française in 1894, and in 1895 was promoted to be an officer of the Légion d'honneur, having received the decoration of the order ten years before.
