The Book of Monelle by Marcel Schwob
4.0
my first read of 2023, and I’m glad I started with this.
this story revolves around Monelle and her advises to her sisters. she reference on Sonya (referring to Crime and Punishment), and how Desdemona is killed by insecurities (Othello), and tackling the fact on poverty and living.
monelle ended up passed away after seeing sufferings, and her death was weeped by sick child. i teared up.
the proses, the principles, the nihilism value..no wonder it was considered as unofficial bible for French symbolist movement.
