While still at school Dominique de Bray falls in love with Madeleine d'Orsel, who is a few years older than he is. She discovers he loves her shortly after her marriage to someone else, and elects to cure him. Their moral distress rises to a climax when she falls in love herself. Offers a vision of chastity and pain which hints at the dark side of life, suggesting that there are other ends to existence besides mere happiness. First published in 1862, a remarkable and sober analysis of delirious passion. All the painting of places, persons, situations, and impressions is exquisite. The analysis is very searching, very profound, mysterious in many cases, and well controlled. I feel myself a child before a man who has reflected so much."" - George Sand.
