Publisher Description
"Clarimonde" by Théophile Gautier is a lush, Gothic tale of love, temptation, and the supernatural. The story follows Romuald, a young priest, who becomes infatuated with the enigmatic Clarimonde, a beautiful woman rumored to be a courtesan—or something more sinister. Torn between his spiritual duties and earthly desires, Romuald succumbs to her allure, only to discover her dark secret: she is a vampire. Blending sensuality with moral conflict, Gautier crafts a haunting exploration of passion and immortality. This atmospheric novella delves into themes of forbidden love, identity, and the duality of human nature, captivating readers with its poetic prose and eerie charm. A cornerstone of Romantic literature.
