«La Princesse de Clèves» is the classic French novel by Madame de Lafayette, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (254 pages, in French).
At the court of the Valois, the Princess of Clèves and the Duke of Nemours live a restrained passion that is barely revealed through gestures and glances: a stolen portrait, the colour of a garment at a tournament, a sudden emotion on the face. The work combines narrative and psychology, and its tragic ending marked a milestone in the seventeenth-century novel.
Novel originally published in 1678, considered one of the first psychological novels in French literature.
Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, Comtesse de La Fayette, better known as Madame de La Fayette, was a French writer; she authored La Princesse de Clèves, France's first historical novel and one of the earliest novels in literature.
