«Adieu» is the short novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (96 pages, in French).
In 1819, two hunters find in a forest a woman who only repeats «Adieu». Philippe de Sucy recognises her as Countess Stéphanie de Vandières, from whom he was separated at the crossing of the Berezina in 1812. Philippe tries to restore her sanity and win back her love, in a story about memory, madness and the ravages of war.
It is part of the La Comédie humaine series, where it holds number 76, and was originally published in 1830. This edition is complete and unabridged, with an introduction and notes by Lucette Vidal.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classics and for students of French who want to read Balzac in the original language.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
