Single

A wealthy retired man who is affectionate to many women, but at the same time despises them, just as he despises the society he lives in and its hypocrisy, selfishness, and others. Like most characters in the novel, this bachelor shows the usual helplessness that characterizes Bove's literary characters, leading to the conviction that "no one understands the other." A novel with smooth language and simple structures, it delves into the depths of bourgeois society and works to present a different image of it. Author: Emmanuel Bove Number of pages: 162
