Elle semblait née pour jouer ce rôle de jolie cruelle avec ses yeux rapprochés comme ceux des félins, sa lèvre dédaigneuse et ses dents pointues férocement blanches.
Cette oeuvre sulfureuse raconte l'histoire d'une petite fille mal-aimée pour ne pas être née garçon et qui, à l'âge adulte, insensible à l'amour et refusant la maternité, détestera les hommes et développera un goût prononcé pour la manipulation, la violence et le crime. Publiée en 1888, elle valut à Rachilde d'être qualifiée par la critique de son époque de femme digne de pourrir au charnier des filles repenties et à la Salpêtrière .
Cette nouvelle édition bénéficie d'une mise en page en larges caractères qui permet d'améliorer le confort de lecture.
English description: Dark, provocative, and unforgettable, this novel tells the story of a woman shaped by rejection and driven by defiance.
Denied affection as a child and unwilling to accept the roles imposed on women, the heroine grows into a cold and independent figure who rejects love and motherhood. Her relationships with men become a struggle for power, marked by manipulation and violence.
Bold and disturbing, this classic of decadent literature explores desire, identity, and rebellion against social norms. Rachilde creates one of the most striking female characters of nineteenth-century French fiction.
This large print edition offers a comfortable reading experience.
