Langs lijnen van geleidelijkheid by Louis Couperus
"Langs lijnen van geleidelijkheid" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely revolves around Cornélie de Retz, a young Dutch woman traveling alone in Italy for the first time, exploring themes of identity, loneliness, and the complexities of human relationships. As she navigates the social dynamics of a pension in Rome, her experiences and interactions highlight her internal struggles and desire for connection amidst herfeelings of isolation. The opening portion introduces readers to the pension run by the marchesa Belloni, set against the vibrant backdrop of Rome. Cornélie arrives at the pension, charmed yet bewildered by the eccentric characters she encounters, including a clumsy doorman and various other guests embodying the cosmopolitan blend of cultures in Rome. As she settles into her new surroundings, Cornélie's thoughts drift between her sense of excitement and the profound loneliness she feels in a foreign city. Despite her attempts to embrace the artistic and historical beauty of Rome, she grapples with disillusionment and a deep yearning for meaning and emotional connection, setting the stage for her journey of self-discovery.
