Summary
"To an ancient castle in a lonely forest by the Brittany shore come three young people whom a strang fate has brought together in this magic spot to play the drama of a curious destiny. Albert, the philosopher; Herminien, his friend; and the beautiful Heide, who loves first one, then the other. These are no ordinary mortals, so far they are raised above the necessities of ordinary living, so free to indulge in the geometry of abstract will and desire" -- book jacket.
