Translation from the French and Introduction by: Robin Buss (1992)
Described as France's first modern novel, The Princesse de Clèves is an exquisite and profound analysis of the human heart, and a moving depiction of the inseparability of love and anguish.
Set towards the end of the reign of Henry II of France, The Princesse de Clèves (1678) tells of the unspoken, unrequited love between the fair, noble Mme de Clèves, who is married to a loyal and faithful man, and the Duc de Nemours, a handsome man most female courtiers find irresistible. Warned by her mother against admitting her passion, Mme de Clèves hides her feelings from her fellow courtiers, until she finally confesses to her husband - an act that brings tragic consequences for all.
Mademoiselle de Chartres is a young lady of fifteen at the court of Henry II of France, looking for a marriage match. Her mother suggests the unremarkable Prince de Cleves, and soon the girl is wed. Only after the wedding, does she meet the charming Duc de Nemours, and the spark of love is ignited.
