September Roses. Letters to an Unknown Woman. Violets on Wednesdays

New

André Maurois (1885–1967) — a classic of 20th-century French literature, a novelist and essayist, the author of famous biographical novels and an undisputed master of psychological prose. This edition includes two of his celebrated novels and a collection of remarkable... novellas.
The hero of the novel «September Roses» is not very young, but a very successful writer, Guillaume Fontaine, whose books are read throughout France. In his life, which is wonderfully managed by a caring and jealous wife, everything goes its course, but he lacks a miracle — the miracle of love, due to which the autumn of life will again become spring and roses will bloom in September…
«Letters to an Unknown Woman» is one of André Maurois' most famous books. The endless monologue of its hero is addressed to an unnamed beauty whom he glimpsed in the theater. This mysterious lady is infinitely receptive to his wisdom and subtle observations and will likely learn a lot by listening to his reflections on female nature, feminine tenderness and coquetry, on partings, meetings, life, and love.
The collection «Violets on Wednesdays» includes Maurois' novellas from different years — true masterpieces of short prose, colored with lyricism and subtle irony. In these texts, which rightly continue the brilliant tradition of Balzac, Stendhal, and Maupassant, the denouement is always unexpected, the insight of judgments is at the highest level, and the human soul is revealed as a simple, yet marvelous and even exotic flower.
