Prévost, a member of the Académie Française, is best remembered for this controversial and perceptive novel exploring the social and moral tensions surrounding young women in late 19th-century society. The present edition forms part of the Les Grands Écrivains series and is enhanced by striking original illustrations by Gaston Fédit, engraved by Paul Baudier.\n  \u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n  \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n  \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n   Particularly appealing is the limitation: this copy is one of just 200 examples printed on fine\n   \u003cb\u003e\n    Hollande Van Gelder paper\n   \u003c\/b\u003e\n   , noted in the colophon and indicative of a more deluxe issue within the edition.
