The most widely read of French novels . . . one of the great romances of literature . . . the translation by John Donovan is also a work of art; and his introduction a valuable piece of scholarship and appreciation. This is indeed a classic edition. --Irish Times

Biographie de l'auteur :

JACQUES-HENRI BERNARDIN DE SAINT-PIERRE was born in Le Havre in 1737. When Paul and Virginia was published in 1788 he was already well known as a natural historian, but his first novel catapulted him to stardom. In 1792 he was made Superintendent of the Royal Botanical Gardens and later became Professor of Moral Science at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. By the time of his death in 1815 he was President of the French Academy.
