Originally published in 1788, the novel tells the story of Paul and Virginie, two young people who grow up together in the idyllic natural surroundings of Mauritius. Their innocent childhood friendship gradually develops into love, but separation, social expectations and fate eventually transform their story into a deeply moving tragedy. The novel is celebrated for its themes of love, innocence, nature and loss. Armenian editions of Paul et Virginie form part of the work's long history of translation and publication in Armenian. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows Paul and Virginie as they grow up close to nature, far from the social conventions and artificial values of European society. Their peaceful life is disrupted when Virginie is sent away, separating the two young lovers. Her eventual return leads to the novel's tragic climax, while Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's vivid descriptions of the tropical landscape and his emphasis on natural beauty give the work its distinctive romantic and emotional atmosphere. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, this 1930 Istanbul edition is an especially fascinating piece of early 20th-century Armenian-language publishing. The book contains numerous illustrations, adding considerable visual and historical interest to this edition. Even more importantly, some pages remain unopened (uncut), an exceptionally rare condition for a book of this age. Finding a 1930 Armenian edition of Paul Et Virginie from Istanbul with original illustrations and surviving uncut pages is extremely difficult today, making this a particularly desirable piece for collectors of Armenian books, Ottoman and early Republican Istanbul publishing, French literary classics in translation and illustrated antiquarian editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Author: Bernardin de Saint-Pierre\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Original Title: Paul Et Virginie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Armenian Title: Bol ev Verjini\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Publisher: Gudenberg Matenashar Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Publication Year: 1930\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Place of Publication: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Language: Armenian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Genre: Classic Literature; Romance; French Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Illustrations: Numerous illustrations throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Collector Appeal: Rare 1930 Istanbul Armenian edition featuring numerous illustrations and partially uncut pages.
