In according with preface, author had thought of qualifying this book: A Novel Without Hypocrisy or A Physiological Novel. The main theme is a human passion. A young girl is not merely a young heart, but a young human body, all complete. Such is the subject of this novel, which must, in spite of everything, be called "physiological."
