Paul Et Virginie: Suivi De La Chaumière Indienne Du Café De Surate Du Voyage De Codrus... [French]

By Bernardin De Saint-Pierre

Paul et Virginie, suivi de La Chaumi re indienne, is a celebrated work by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, first published in 1788. This poignant tale of innocent love, set against the lush backdrop of Mauritius, explores themes of nature, society, and the corrupting influence of civilization.

Paul and Virginie, raised as siblings in idyllic isolation, discover a deep and abiding love for one another. Their simple existence is threatened by the arrival of European society and its artificial constraints. Saint-Pierre's vivid descriptions of the natural world and his sentimental portrayal of the protagonists made "Paul et Virginie" an immediate success and a cornerstone of French Romantic literature. This edition also includes La Chaumi re indienne, another of Saint-Pierre's works exploring similar themes of virtue and simplicity in the face of societal pressures.
