About the book

The classic French novel first published in 1816, which follows Adolphe, a young man with all the privileges of a noble birth, but who is haunted by the meaninglessness of life. He seeks distraction in the pursuit of the beautiful but older Ellenore, a fictionalised version of Madame de Sta�l. Young Adolphe, inexperienced in love, falls for her and falters under the burden of their illicit love, which isolates them from society at large. Constant's prose eschews the conventional descriptions of exteriors for the sake of detailed emotional accounts.
