Synopsis
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 Staël. 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.

Paperback. Condition: Good. We are such volatile creatures that we finally feel the sentiments we feign. First published in 1816, Adolphe is the story of a young man with all the privileges and advantages of a noble birth, bt who's still haunted by the meaninglessness of life. He seeks distraction in the pursuit of the beautiful, but older and married Ellenore, a fictionalized version of Madame de Stael. The young Adolphe, inexperienced in love, falls for her unexpectedly and falters under the burden of the illicit love. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
