| Summary | "Le Crime des Riches" by Jean Lorrain is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the decadent society of the Riviera, portraying intricate relationships between its wealthy inhabitants, often entangled in scandal and intrigue. The narrative begins by introducing a colorful ensemble of characters, hinting at themes of opulence, moral corruption, and the consequences of wealth. At the start of the novel, the lush setting of the Riviera is depicted through a lively conversation between characters who discuss prominent social figures and their sordid histories. Glossed with wit, this dialogue paints a vivid picture of the extravagant yet morally ambiguous lives led by the elite, including those with dubious pasts or scandalous reputations. The opening sets a tone of intrigue and anticipation, establishing a backdrop of glamour intertwined with darker human behaviors as various characters navigate their fortunes amidst the vibrant yet treacherous social landscape.
