In his youth, Marcel Schwob maintained an intense and profound relationship with Louise, a young prostitute from the working-class neighborhood, who would become the love of his life. After Louise's death in 1893, Schwob wrote 'The Book of Monelle' as a beautiful and disturbing poem, full of poetic sentences and vitality. This short book invites to be assimilated from the heart, exploring themes of love, loss and the search for meaning in life.
