«Lorelei» is the novel by Maurice Genevoix, published by Éditions du Seuil in paperback (233 pages, in French).
In 1905, Julien Derouet, a French teenager, spends a month in Germany with the Roy family. He discovers two countries: the romantic one of forests and legends, and the violent one of militarism. The Lorelei, a Rhine undine, takes different faces to bewitch him, and a virile, passionate friendship marks him. It is a sentimental education.
Subtitled «roman», it appeared in 1978 in the Cadre rouge collection of Éditions du Seuil.
For readers of French literature and twentieth-century coming-of-age novels.
Maurice Genevoix was a French author and WWI veteran who is best known for his book Ceux de 14.
