Summary "La deux fois morte" by Jules Lermina is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Paul and Virginie, two characters deeply intertwined in an intense relationship, exploring themes of memory, perception, and perhaps even the supernatural. The narrative is framed by the perspective of a friend and observer, who becomes involved in their lives as they descend into a realm of emotional and psychological complexities. The opening of the book introduces us to the main characters and establishes a sense of mystery surrounding their lives. The narrator arrives in France after a long absence and reflects on his connection to Paul and Virginie, a young couple who have chosen a secluded life in the Sologne. Paul is portrayed as a gifted artist with an extraordinary memory, whereas Virginie is delicate, exuding an ethereal quality. As the narrator attempts to reconnect with them, he uncovers hints of darker undertones in their existence, particularly following the death of Virginie. The atmosphere is laden with suspense, and peculiar occurrences around Paul suggest a disquieting transformation in his state of mind. The tension escalates as the narrator learns of unsettling rumors regarding Paul's isolation and his possible connections to the supernatural after Virginie's supposed demise, laying the groundwork for a gripping exploration of love, loss, and the boundaries of reality.
