| Summary |
"The 'Serge Panine — Volume 03'" by Georges Ohnet is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, wealth, and societal dynamics through the lives of its main characters, Serge Panine and his wife, Micheline. The story delves into their marriage and the complications that arise from Serge's extravagant lifestyle and gambling tendencies, as well as the feelings of jealousy and rivalry between Micheline and other characters. The opening of this volume depicts a blissful period in the early days of Serge and Micheline's marriage, contrasting this happiness with the growing tensions surrounding their relationship. Following their return to Paris after their honeymoon, the couple indulges in a lavish lifestyle filled with extravagant parties, equestrian pursuits, and luxurious living. However, underlying tensions arise from Madame Desvarennes, Micheline's mother and a successful businesswoman, who begins to observe Serge’s reckless spending and precarious gambling habits. The narrative hints at a brewing conflict as Micheline's initial contentment starts to be overshadowed by concerns about her husband's behavior, suggesting that the idyllic beginning may soon give way to deeper emotional struggles.
