Summary "Les naufragés" by Edmond Haraucourt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of personal sacrifice, social class, and the struggles of a woman named Madame Hélène, who finds herself entangled in a loveless marriage and grappling with her faith. Hélène's experiences and internal turmoil form the crux of the narrative, as she navigates her relationships and societal expectations. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Madame Hélène Bonnavent, an orphaned noblewoman, who marries Eugène Bonnavent, a man of lower social standing. Although the marriage is seen as beneficial by influential figures like the Bishop, Hélène enters the union without affection for her husband. The facade of her piety begins to crumble following a harrowing wedding night, leading her to question the pillars of her faith and identity. As the narrative unfolds, Hélène's relationship with the young and charismatic Abbé Gilbert serves as a catalyst for her emotional and spiritual awakening, culminating in a complex interplay of devotion, desire, and despair.
