The Female Heart

New

Paul Bourget is one of the most subtle psychologists of French literature at the end of the 19th century, a writer who could discern the abyss in a barely noticeable tremor of feelings. He was called the singer of doubts,... the fear of choice, and the secret mechanisms of the soul. Bourget wrote about what was rarely spoken aloud: about the power of feelings, the destructive force of passion, the fragility of moral supports.

"The Female Heart" is a novel about love that begins as salvation and turns into a trial. The heroine makes a choice between duty and passion, reason and desire, familiar safety and dangerous freedom—and each step leads deeper into the trap of her own feelings.

This is a story about secret motives, forbidden dreams, and that line beyond which it is already impossible to turn back. A subtle psychological novel in which the heart beats louder than reason, and the price of love turns out to be higher than one could have imagined.
