Monsieur Vénus by Rachilde
"Monsieur Vénus" by Rachilde is a novel written in 1884. French noblewoman Raoule de Vénérande seeks escape from the suffocating ennui of upper-class life through an unconventional relationship with Jacques Silvert, a poor florist. She transforms him through escalating manipulation, subverting gender roles and sexual morality in her pursuit of pleasure and identity. When jealousy and social transgression collide, the arrangement spirals toward a violent confrontation—and an unsettling conclusion that defies conventional
mourning. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
