Work by famous French novelist and Paul Bourget, who was very influential in French literature scene. This novel belongs to later phase of his writing. The style of all Bourget’s writings is singularly graceful. His knowledge of the literature of other lands gives it a greater flexibility and a finer allusiveness than most of his contemporaries can achieve, a delight to read.
