| Summary | "Les Bains de Bade: Petit Roman d'aventures Galantes et morales" by René Boylesve is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the scenic spa town of Baden, known for its social interactions and libertine allure during the time period following the Council of Constance. The narrative follows Pogge, a Florentine secretary who escapes the chaotic intrigues of conciliar politics to indulge in the more hedonistic offerings of the baths, revealing the complexities of human desires, morality, and societal norms. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Pogge's arrival in Baden as he transitions from the serious atmosphere of the council into the liberating environment of the baths. He is immediately captivated by the beauty of the women he encounters and the unconventional behaviors present in this oasis of leisure. Amidst the charm and moral ambiguities of the locality, Pogge experiences a whirlwind of emotions, including elation and confusion as he interacts with alluring figures such as the signora Bianca Capella and the flirtatious Lola Corazon. With a mix of humor and philosophical reflections, he begins to navigate the strange but enthralling world of Baden, foreshadowing the romantic escapades and moral dilemmas that lie ahead.
