Book Overview

Gabrielle De Bergerac is a novel by the renowned American author Henry James. The book follows the story of Gabrielle, a beautiful and charming Frenchwoman who is married to an American businessman named Richard Cockerel. Gabrielle is a passionate and spirited woman who is deeply in love with her husband, but she finds herself drawn to a young American artist named George Flack.As Gabrielle's relationship with Flack becomes more intense, she struggles with her feelings and the implications of her actions. Meanwhile, Richard becomes increasingly suspicious of his wife's behavior and begins to question her loyalty.The novel explores themes of love, passion, jealousy, and fidelity, as well as the cultural differences between France and America. James's writing is known for its intricate prose, psychological depth, and nuanced characterizations, and Gabrielle De Bergerac is no exception.Overall, Gabrielle De Bergerac is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions.There was every good reason why her dawning consciousness of M. de Treuil's attentions--although these were little more than projected as yet--should have produced a serious tremor in her heart. It was not that she was aught of a coquette; I honestly believe that there was no latent coquetry in her nature. At all events, whatever she might have become after knowing M. de Treuil, she was no coquette to speak of in her ignorance. Her ignorance of men, in truth, was great. For the Vicomte himself, she had as yet known him only distantly, formally, as a gentleman of rank and fashion; and for others of his quality, she had seen but a small number, and not seen them intimately.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
