| Summary |
"Mienne: roman" by Thierry Sandre is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to explore the complex emotional landscape of love, identity, and the consequences of artistic expression, framed through the experiences of a male sculptor who grapples with societal expectations and personal turmoil. Central to the story is a character who reflects deeply on his relationships and past traumas, hinting at a rich tapestry of interpersonal dynamics. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist as he navigates a scandal stemming from his latest artistic work, a nude sculpture. This incident forces him into a period of isolation and introspection, where he contemplates the deeper implications of his art and relationships. The narrative unfolds with a letter to a close confidante, hinting at a desire for honesty and vulnerability. As he recalls his past, including significant encounters with women, particularly a young girl who profoundly affected him, the protagonist's internal struggles become more pronounced, centering around themes of regret, the quest for happiness, and the fleeting nature of love amidst the backdrop of a world marred by conflict and the passage of time.
