This Was the Man: Lui
This Was the Man: Lui
The middle-aged and dissolute poet Albert de Lincel pursues Stéphanie, marquise de Rostan who, although attracted, continually rebuffs him. What is the problem? Is it Albert's notorious affair twenty years previously with the celebrated writer Antonia Black?
Set as a story within a story, the desperate Albert recounts the true tale of his stormy relationship with Antonia, hoping to set the record straight. But Stéphanie's reluctance, moved though she is, has another cause. She has given her heart to a man far away, toiling at the great novel which will make his name. For Stéphanie, this ideal trumps all. When Léonce, the absent lover, finally appears, Albert's hopes are crushed. So are Stéphanie's, for the high-minded Léonce turns out to be a vulgar monster.
