At the heart of feelings

The two texts in the page above, the presentation and "product description" are two authentic disasters, revealing a three-quarters of the plot, and the other confounding austerity and restraint. I advise you strongly not to read them, on pain of being away from this sublime novel written in a language full of finesse and subtlety, exposing a plot certainly rather simple but told with such elegance, delicacy and emotion that largely offsets the somewhat tenuous history.
We follow not to the destiny of the love triangle formed by the beautiful Princess of Cleves, his unhappy husband and seductive Duc de Nemours, who wants to possess that which he already occupies the thoughts.
Like many love stories, it will end badly, in sorrow and renunciation. But before the denouement, Madame de La Fayette exposes us a very rich palette of emotions and twists in the incomparable style that made it famous.
Written in 1678, "The Princess of Cleves" is considered the first great French novel, and this title is absolutely not usurped. It is a reading that will fill you and comforted vulgarities of our time.
