| Summary |
"Mon corps et moi" by René Crevel is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This introspective work delves into themes of solitude, identity, and the human experience, centering on a narrator who grapples with profound feelings of isolation and the complexities of his desires and memories. At the start of the novel, the narrator finds himself alone in a mountain hotel, reflecting on his long-desired solitude. He contemplates memories of past relationships, particularly with a woman he yearns for but can’t truly connect with. The narrative flows through his thoughts on the nature of existence, the haplessness of pursuing genuine connections with others, and his dissatisfaction with the world around him, hinted at through vivid, melancholic imagery and philosophical musings. This opening sets the stage for a journey through the character's psyche, exploring the tension between solitude and the yearning for connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
