Yvette

Yvette is a novel written by the French author Henri Rene Guy de Maupassant. The book tells the story of a young woman named Yvette, who is raised in a convent and then sent to live with her aunt and uncle in Paris. Yvette is a beautiful and innocent girl, but she is also naive and vulnerable. She soon falls in love with a charming and wealthy man named Count de Vaudrec, who seduces her and takes advantage of her naivety. Yvette becomes pregnant and is forced to marry the Count, but their marriage is unhappy and she becomes increasingly isolated and unhappy. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a poignant and powerful story that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in 19th-century France.But now, all at once, Servigny, by a few words, the brutality of which she felt without understanding them, awakened in her a sudden disquietude, unreasoning at first, but which grew into a tormenting apprehension. She had fled home, had escaped like a wounded animal, wounded in fact most deeply by those words which she ceaselessly repeated to get all their sense and bearing: ""You know very well that there can be no question of marriage between us--but only of love.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
