Produktbeschreibung
The Immoralist is a novel that centers on a character who reflects deeply on their life and the choices they have made, particularly in relation to societal norms and the pursuit of personal freedom. The narrative explores themes of morality, human desire, and the challenges of living authentically in a world filled with societal expectations and pressures. The protagonist, surrounded by friends and acquaintances from their past, begins to recount significant events of their life, including a marriage entered into more out of a sense of obligation than love, which becomes a central point of conflict in their journey. As the character reflects on their life, they experience internal struggles and a sense of detachment from their previous self, grappling with the influence of their upbringing and trying to reconcile it with their emerging desires and evolving identity. This introspection leads to a deeper exploration of self-discovery, freedom, and the complexities of human desire, as the individual begins to navigate the tension between personal authenticity and the societal expectations that constantly surround them.
