Description

In this lyrical novel, a solitary narrator welcomes the night with a chorus of restless wings that hover at his doorstep, each feathered visitor a symbol of yearning and fragile hope. The prose drifts between the tangible—silver patins gliding on a barely set table—and dreamlike reveries that make the ordinary door seem a portal to a newly consecrated temple. As he recalls an idealised lover, she becomes both a cherished memory and an unattainable altar of devotion, casting light on his restless longing.

The narrative unfolds as a meditation on desire, melancholy, and the paradox of trying to seize happiness while being haunted by unfulfilled hours. Through vivid, almost operatic images—such as a rose's petals scattering through time—the author captures the delicate balance between tender affection and the bitter ache of absence. Listeners will be drawn into a world where love is both sanctuary and torment, rendered in a style that feels as much a poem as a story.

About the author

Ernest La Jeunesse

Ernest La Jeunesse

1874–1917

A sharp, witty voice of fin-de-siècle Paris, he moved easily between literature, journalism, and caricature. Best remembered for his lively style and literary satire, he was a familiar figure in French cultural life before his early death in 1917.
