Summary "Outo intohimo: Kertomus Ludvig XIV:n ajalta" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the time of King Louis XIV, exploring themes of mystery, desire, and the supernatural as it follows the protagonist, Miss Magdalena Scuderi, a well-known poet who finds herself entangled in a dark and dangerous plot. The opening of the novel introduces us to Miss Scuderi's quiet home, which is disturbed by an urgent and frantic knocking late at night. When her only companion, the maid Martinière, finally opens the door, a mysterious and distressed young man bursts in, claiming he needs to speak with Miss Scuderi urgently. He carries a concealed dagger, suggesting danger, and amidst the chaotic confrontation, he leaves behind a small box filled with exquisite jewelry after quickly fleeing from the entrance when he hears the approach of law enforcement. The tension sets the stage for a tale filled with intrigue, exploring the connections between art, morality, and the depths of human passion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
