Official synopsis Publisher
Un homme, Pierre. Il a voyage, il est revenu de tout, et n’etait la nature qui l’entoure et qu’il aime, je dirai qu’il souffre de spleen. Face a lui, une jeune fille, Marianne. Elle possede une metairie et y vit simplement. Elle est un mystere pour Pierre. Il la juge tres hativement, fustigeant “sa prudence calculee” et “son dessechement volontaire.” Lui-meme a des jugements a l’emporte-piece sur les femmes: “d’ou vient que Marianne se tourmente de devenir une exception ? Connaitrait-elle comme moi le chagrin de n’avoir pas su utiliser sa propre valeur ?”
