| Summary |
"Green Eyes" by Pierre Mille is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is a complex narrative centered around the character Abraham Plattner, who is embroiled in a series of murders. Plattner, a charismatic figure, faces trial and reveals dark, twisted truths about his past, manipulating perceptions of guilt and innocence in a world governed by harsh judgments. The opening of the novel introduces the background of Abraham Plattner, a notorious character linked to a series of disappearances and presumed murders. As he stands trial, he claims to have only committed eight of the alleged sixteen murders attributed to him, asserting that the justice system has erred in placing the blame of multiple victims on him. The narrative unfolds with absurdity and irony, particularly as Plattner discusses his motives and methodology for his actions, alongside revealing a chilling romantic entanglement with one of his victims, Daisy Beaumont. The tone combines humor and horror, setting the stage for a deep exploration of morality and human depravity, capturing the reader's interest with its blend of suspense and dark wit.
