Renata Mauperinova: roman jedne nestašne djevojke za Drugoga Carstva
Novel Renée Mauperin (1864.) brought Goncourt to the bride and groom under the influence of Drug Carstva. Renée je inteligentna i živahna djevojka koja se opire očekivanjima srednje class, odbijajući brakove iz interesa i težeći osobnoj slobodi.
Renate's brother Henri, ambitious and cold, seeks to enrich himself by marrying Noémi Bourjot, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. To achieve his goal, he becomes her mother's lover and falsely poses as an aristocrat. Renate, disgusted by his actions, informs the true bearer of the noble title, which leads to a duel in which Henri is killed.
Wracked with guilt over her brother's death, Renée falls ill and dies. The novel ends with a tragedy that affects the entire Mauperin family, symbolizing the collapse of idealism in the face of materialism and social hypocrisy.
Through a detailed psychological analysis of the characters and a critique of social norms, the Goncourt brothers create a work that remains relevant today.
