Summary "Woman and Puppet, Etc." by Pierre Louÿs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Carnival in Seville, following the experiences of André Stévenol, a man who is drawn into a romance full of intrigue and desire. Central to the narrative is the captivating character of Concha Perez, a woman who becomes an object of André’s infatuation and symbolizes the complexities of love and longing. The opening of the novel immerses readers in the vibrant atmosphere of Seville’s Carnival as André reflects on missed romantic opportunities. While the festivities abound with laughter and colorful interactions, he feels a sense of melancholy as he has yet to embark on a new adventure. His spirits lift when he encounters a stunning young woman, Concha, amidst the chaos of the celebration, leading him to take a daring step by throwing her an egg inscribed with the word "quero," signifying his desire. This initial connection sets the stage for a passionate and turbulent exploration of their relationship, one filled with both hope and uncertainty as André becomes increasingly enraptured with the enigmatic Concha.
