Paul and Virginia. Indian hut. Bernarden de Saint-Pierre J.A.

This edition presents the most famous works of the French writer Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737–1814). The novel “Paul and Virginia” (1787) is an idyll, telling about the happiness of living according to the laws “Nature and Virtue”. Two women by the will of fate (impoverished widow and former mistress) bring up their son and daughter. With them, the Negro couple. Children grow together, grow up, experience adventures, and engage in agriculture. And all this against the backdrop of exotic nature and fairy-tale landscapes.

in the satirical and philosophical story “Indian hut” (1791) to representatives of the school scholasticism and religious intolerance confronts the wise and virtuous “Paria” (rejected).
