Introduzione e note di Massimo Romano
Traduzione di Renata Debenedetti
Pubblicato anonimo nel 1678, La principessa di Clèves è la storia di un triangolo amoroso. Nella fastosa cornice della corte di Enrico II di Valois, la giovane Mademoiselle de Chartres sposa il principe di Clèves senza esserne innamorata, mentre è irresistibilmente attratta dall’affascinante duca di Nemours. Fedele eppure sempre più inquieta, decide infine di confessare i propri turbamenti adulterini al marito, che ne è addolorato fino a morirne, ma rimasta vedova rifiuta di risposarsi con colui che ama pur rivelandogli i suoi sentimenti. Nella partita a scacchi tra passione e ragione, l’eroina di questa avventura del cuore conosce bene la grammatica del desiderio: sa che negarsi a Nemours dopo essersi dichiarata è il solo modo per conquistarlo per sempre; sa che scegliere la solitudine invece del matrimonio è l’unica via per sottrarre l’amore all’usura del quotidiano e preservarne intatto l’incanto originario.
Prezioso gioiello della letteratura francese, per la perfezione del meccanismo narrativo e la finezza dell’analisi psicologica il capolavoro di Madame de Lafayette segna la nascita del romanzo moderno.

***Advance Review Copy generously provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Well, I have to say the moment I saw this book I thought that it would be about Anne of Cleves a.k.a. the luckiest wife of Henry VIII.

Il falò della passione "La principessa di Cleves" viene giustamente considerato uno dei romanzi più belli da quando esiste la letteratura. L'autrice, Madame de Lafayette, era una dama della corte di Luigi XIV, il Re Sole. Siamo quindi in pieno Seicento. L'opera, che riflette la vita cortigiana di qu Leggi tutto
990. La Princesse de Clèves = The Princess of Clèves, Marie-Madeleine de LaFayette La Princesse de Clèves is a French novel which was published anonymously in March 1678. It is regarded by many as the beginning of the modern tradition of the psychological novel, and as a great classic work. Its autho Leggi tutto
This classic of early French literature was published in 1678 anonymously, but was later attributed to Madame de LaFayette. It is set in 1558-59 France in the court of King Henry II. It's historical fiction and by most accounts it's fairly accurate in it's portrayal of the people and events of the e Leggi tutto
The first half is rough going--every sentence seems to namedrop at least two members of the French aristocracy, and it is impossible to keep track of who is being mentioned for the first time, and who has already been referred to six lines back. But there comes a point where the narrative suddenly c Leggi tutto
The idea here was to read this and another short book by the same author for a Literary Birthday Challenge. This book sounded so interesting: the court of Henry The Second of France, with all the intrigue and goings-on that nobility do so well. Enter our young heroine, Mademoiselle de Chartres, whos Leggi tutto
No one is more surprised than me at how much I liked this book because this is not my kind of book at all. But the writing was so addicting and the storyline was so interesting. Around The Year in 52 Books Challenge #8 - A classic with less than 200 pages
"The least problematic of all literary classics in French," Robin Buss calls this. I took it as a warning. She's thinking of Les Liaisons dangereuses, no doubt - a deeply problematic book that reads like a reverse censoring of Princess of Clèves, as though LaClos read Clèves and thought, I'm going t Leggi tutto
I read this book in French, and as a result of this missed a lot of the smaller details of this book because despite taking French for seven years now I still can't really read it. But I got the main idea, and what I understood I really liked. The book's actually pretty exciting - there's lots of co Leggi tutto
God, what a heartbreaking novel. Even while I suspected where it would go, I held on to the hope that maybe it wouldn't go there. Ultimately it did and my poor heart could not take it. Move over Romeo and Juliet, the Duke of Nemours and the Princess of Clèves are the patron saints of star-crossed lo Leggi tutto
