LOT NOTESPaul et Virginie by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre is a short novel about innocent love set on the island of Mauritius under French rule. It was first published in 1788 and became very popular in the 19th century. The novel's title characters are two island children whose love for each other begun in their infancy, thrives in an unspoiled natural setting but ends tragically when civilization interferes. Written on the eve of the French Revolution, the novel is recognized as Bernardin's finest work. The novel's fame was such that when the participants at the Versailles Peace Conference in 1920 considered the status of Mauritius, the New York Times headlined its coverage.LITERATUREOda k Radosti / Ode to Joy, p. 33, cat. no. 7 (illustrated)
