Summary "Meta Holdenis" by Victor Cherbuliez is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Tony Flamerin, a young painter who is navigating the challenges of his artistic aspirations, familial obligations, and romantic entanglements. As he grapples with his passion for painting and the pressures of societal expectations, his relationships with others, particularly with the intriguing Meta Holdenis, take center stage. At the start of the novel, Tony receives a summons from his father that forces him to leave his studies in Paris and return home. The narrative introduces Tony as a struggling artist who has squandered his inheritance on his pursuit of painting while contending with his father's disapproval. Upon arrival, Tony learns that his wealthy uncle in America wants to take him in, but the condition of potentially marrying Meta adds complexity to Tony's dilemma. This opening sets up not only his aspirations but also the conflicting demands of love, duty, and ambition as he encounters various characters that will shape his journey.
