Paul et Virginie (or Paul and Virginia) is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are very good friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set in the island of Mauritius under French rule (then named Ile de France), which the author had visited. Written on the eve of the French Revolution, the novel is hailed as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the false, artificial sentimentality that prevailed at the time among the upper classes of France. Saint-Pierre attacked the issues of divided social classes present in eighteenth century French society. In Paul et Virginie, Saint-Pierre describes perfect equality occurring on Mauritius, where inhabitants share the same possessions, have equal amounts of land, and all work to cultivate it. They live in harmony, without violence or unrest. These beliefs of Saint-Pierre's echo those of Enlightenment philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The book also presents an Enlightenment view of religion: that God, or "Providence," had perfectly designed the world to be harmonious and pleasing.

Paris, Furne et Cie, 1856. Un fort vol. au format in-4 (257 x 162 mm) de 1 f. bl., 2 ff. n.fol., 1 frontispice gravé n.fol., xl - 330 pp., 1 f. n.fol. et 1 f. bl. Reliure de l'époque de demi-chagrin maroquiné émeraude, filets gras et maigres à froid encadrant les plats, dos à nerfs orné d'un décor ''à la grotesque'' comportant filets gras en noir, doubles caissons d'encadrement dorés, important décor fleuronné doré, filets maigres dorés, titre doré, tranches dorées. Exemplaire revêtu d'une reliure décorative du temps. Il s'ouvre sur un portrait-frontispice figurant l'auteur tiré sur Chine appliqué signé de Laffite. L'iconographie - outre de très nombreuses (environ 450) figures dans le texte et larges ornements typographiques figuratifs - est complétée par une carte de l'île Maurice sur Chine appliqué en coloris gommés, ainsi que 6 portraits sur Chine et 29 planches hors-texte. Réimpression de la célèbre édition Curmer de 1838, considérée telle l'une des meilleures productions de l'illustré romantique. Issus de deux familles différentes, Paul et Virginie sont élevés en commun comme frère et s?ur, dans la splendeur naturelle des paysages tropicaux de lîle Maurice. Mais à l'adolescence, des sentiments amoureux naissent entre les deux personnages. La mère de Virginie, Madame de la Tour décide alors de l'éloigner de Paul en envoyant sa fille étudier en France, laissant Paul à son chagrin. Plusieurs années après, Virginie annonce son retour sur l'île, mais le navire qui la ramène de France est pris dans une tempête. Appartenant au registre pathétique, Paul et Virginie décrit avec force les sentiments amoureux et la nostalgie du paradis perdu. Au-delà du cadre exotique et de la description d'une société idyllique, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre expose dans ce roman sa vision pessimiste de l'existence. A la suite, est imprimé le texte intitulé ''Flore'', se proposant de décrire les principales espèces rencontrées au cours de la lecture de ''Paul et Virginie'' ainsi que de ''La Chaumière indienne''.

Exception faite des planches sur Chine, l'ouvrage ne présente que peu de rousseurs.
