DESCRIPTION - A LOVE AFFAIR (Une page d'amour) is the eighth novel in Zola's twenty volume Rougon-Macquart series set among the petite bourgeoisie in Second Empire suburban Paris. It was first serialized between December 11, 1877, and April 4, 1878, in Le Bien public, before being published in novel form by Charpentier in April 1878. The central character of the novel is HEl�ne Grandjean nee Mouret (b. 1824), first introduced briefly in La fortune des Rougon. HEl�ne is the daughter of Ursule Mouret nee Macquart, the illegitimate daughter of Adela�de Fouque (Tante Dide), the ancestress of the Rougon-Macquart family. HEl�ne's brothers are Francois Mouret, the central character of La conqu�te de Plassans, and Silv�re Mouret, whose story is told in La fortune des Rougon. The story takes place in 1854-1855. When the novel begins, HEl�ne has been widowed 18 months, living in what was then the Paris suburb of Passy with her 11-year-old daughter Jeanne. Her husband Charles Grandjean fell ill the day after they arrived from Marseilles and died eight days later. HEl�ne and Jeanne have only been into Paris proper three times. From the window of their home, they can see the entire city, which takes on a dreamlike, foreign, and romantic, yet inaccessible, character for them throughout the novel. inventory #19589 Previous Owner s Embossed Name in Front & Back, Otherwise Very Good.
