Riassunto

"That girl Yvette, she is a mystery. Is she a charming youngster or a wretched jade?"Yvette belongs through her high-class prostitute mother, her birth, her education, her inheritance, her manners, and her customs, to the vortex of the most rapid life of 19th-century Paris. She lives in that atmosphere of infamy with a calm and triumphing ease which is either wonderfully profligate or entirely artless. She allures and excites men and at the same time acts like an impeccable virgin. If she is not the most complete monster of astuteness and perversity, she certainly is the most marvelous phenomenon of innocence that can be imagined. Yet, this young lady belongs neither to society, nor to the tradesmen's class, nor to the common people, and she can never enter any of these ranks by marriage. She has only one possible career, a life of pleasure. Can she escape her fate?
