Corinne Ou l'Italie - Paperback

by Madame De Stael (Author), Albertine-Adrienne Necker de Saussure (Preface by), Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve (Preface by)

Corinne, who has chosen a life of creative freedom, is ready to enter into a free union with Oswald. This philosophical novel uses its characters to probe the relationship between nations and sexes as well as the conflict between the individual and society, a conflict all the more tragic because the heroine is a woman and an artist.
