Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's only novel is a classic of naïve love.

In modern times it has inspired major musicals, artworks, a hit song by Celine Dion. Bernardin was inspired by his friend Rousseau to tell the story of two children who grow up entirely according to nature's laws on an idyllic island free from the corrupting influence of the world. They reach adolescence and fall in love, but tragedy strikes and both die untimely deaths. A key text in the development of the novel, this is a must for anyone interested in the history of European literature.; 32mo 4"-5" tall; 264 pages.
