At sixty-six years of age, an elderly priest is finally ready to tell the story of his first and only love. Over forty years ago, on the day of his Ordination, Lord Romulad lays eyes on a creature that shines brighter than the stars in heaven. With an almost hypnotic radiance, the young madonna's beauty almost convinces Romulad to abandon his religious duty but, ignoring his lustful feelings, he completes his ceremony to become a priest and is left knowing only her name, Clarimonde.
Unable to forget her, Romulad quickly becomes dissatisfied with his newfound priesthood, gaining the attention of Father Serapion who delievers a warning: the woman he seeks is not only dead, but has died many times-her tomb a place of filth and debacbuatry. However, undettered by these rumors, Romulad follows a mysterious stranger to the castle of Clarimonde and thus begins the love affair that would change his life forever.

Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) was a French poet, novelist, and critic. A lover of Romanticism, Gautier was inspired by Victor Hugo to pursue a career as a writer rather than an artist with his earliest pieces of poetry being written and submitted for publication in 1826. He would go on to produce critically acclaimed travel literature including Voyage en Espagne (1843), Trésors d'Art de la Russie (1858), and Voyage en Russie (1867); several collections of poetry, plays, at least four novels including Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835) and The Romance of a Mummy (1858); with his most well-known works being The Dead Woman in Love (1836), Fortunio (1837), Captain Fracasse (1863), and One of Cleopatra's Nights and Other Fantastic Romances (1882). Lauded by both critics and his contemporaries (Balazc, Baudelaire, Proust, and Wilde, among others), Gautier was an immensely talented and prolific writer whose personal style cemented his legacy as one of the most interesting creatives of nineteenth-century France.
