Adolphe by Benjamin Constant

"Adolphe" by Benjamin Constant is a novel first published in 1816. It follows a young, alienated man who pursues an affair with Ellénore, an older woman already bound to another. What begins as calculated seduction transforms into an all-consuming love that isolates them from society. As Adolphe realizes the relationship threatens his future, he finds himself trapped between desire and duty, unable to leave yet unable to stay. The novel delves deeply into psychological torment and emotional complexity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
