http://gallica.bnf.fr.  a"Les douze nouvelles nouvelles" by Arsène Houssaye is a collection of short stories likely written during the late 19th century. The stories delve into themes of romance, societal norms, and individual identity, showcasing various characters navigating the complexities of love and ambition in a vibrant Parisian setting.   The beginning of the book introduces the story of Mademoiselle Salomé and M. Arthur Dupont, who share a whirlwind of emotions while dancing at a soirée. As they waltz, their interaction hints at social class discrepancies, with Salomé initially dismissive of Dupont due to his mundane name and perceived lack of status. The story evolves as Dupont makes a desperate attempt to win her affection by acquiring wealth and status through owning horses, only to face tragic consequences in his pursuit of love and approval. This opening sets the tone for a collection that deftly blends romance with the tragic realities of ambition, reflecting on the price of societal acceptance.
