Summary "Ève victorieuse" by Pierre de Coulevain is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Hélène Ronald, a fashionable and artistic woman in New York society, who desires to escape from the superficialities of her affluent lifestyle. Throughout the opening portion, the dynamics between Hélène, her husband Henri, and her friend Dora Carroll hint at deeper themes of love, ambition, and the conflicts between personal desires and societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Hélène Ronald as an authority on interior decoration and a collector of fine objects. As she prepares for a night at the opera, her dialogue with her husband Henri reveals a contrast between her enjoyment of social events and his intellectual pursuits in the field of science. Their conversation touches on themes such as the perception of love through a scientific lens and hints at Hélène's growing restlessness with her luxurious yet shallow existence. The chapter also introduces Dora Carroll, whose self-centered nature and capriciousness complicate the narrative, particularly regarding her romantic relationship with Jack, creating a tension that suggests potential developments in their respective paths and character growth throughout the story.
