A fragment from a literary work introduces Louis Couperus's Footsteps of Fates Part I. The line hints at themes of destiny and morality and provides a glimpse into the narrative voice and setting for readers familiar with the author.
Frank Westhove encounters a long lost friend Bertie van Macron in a snowy London night. Bertie, penniless and humbled, seeks shelter. Frank invites him in, offering warmth, food, and refuge from the cold as memories and old ties resurface.
Bertie, once poor and homeless, is sheltered by Frank at White Rose Cottage and grows into a fashionable social climber. Their friendship deepens amid lavish dinners, club life, and Bertie’s secret sprees. A Norway excursion with Sir Archibald Rhodes and Eva unfolds a tension between dependence, ambition, and genuine affection as Bertie’s charm masks deeper emptiness.
