Description:
This is a 1990s Turkish edition of Paul Et Virginie (Pol ve Virjini) by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, published by Salan Yayınları. First published in 1788, this celebrated French classic 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 love, while separation, social expectations and fate eventually lead their story toward tragedy. The novel is renowned for its themes of love, innocence, nature and destiny.
Paul and Virginie grow up in a simple life close to nature, far removed from the social conventions and artificial values of European society. As they mature, their relationship develops into a deep and innocent love, but Virginie is eventually sent away to France, separating the two young lovers. Her return brings the story to its tragic climax, while Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's vivid descriptions of the tropical landscape give the novel its distinctive romantic and exotic atmosphere.
