Description:
This is the 1977 Turkish edition of Paul et Virginie (Pol ile Virjini) by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, published by Dilek Yayınevi. First published in 1788, this celebrated French romantic novel tells the story of Paul and Virginie, two young people who grow up together in the idyllic natural surroundings of the island of Mauritius. Their innocent childhood friendship gradually develops into a deep love, while their peaceful life is eventually disrupted by separation, social expectations and tragic events. The novel is particularly known for its themes of love, innocence, nature and fate.
