| Summary | "La vie infernale" by Émile Gaboriau is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Count Chalusse and his young ward Marguerite, exploring themes of mystery, family secrets, and the human condition amidst the backdrop of Parisian society. It presents a cast of characters that includes the enigmatic count, the devoted Marguerite, and a variety of domestic staff who weave through their lives, hinting at underlying tensions and hidden truths. The opening of the novel sets a dark and stormy scene at the Hôtel de Chalusse, where the household staff gathers, concerned about the count’s well-being. The narrative introduces us to Marguerite, a striking young woman who displays a mix of strength and vulnerability, and the count, who is later discovered to have suffered a mysterious accident. As the suspense builds, tension arises among the staff, revealing their curiosity and concern for the count's fate. The atmosphere is charged with an air of foreboding, as Marguerite's fear for the count's life leads her to seek help amid a web of rumors and secrets that threaten to unravel their lives.
