Madame De

An elegant fable for the modern age, Louise de Vilmorin`s novella `Madame de` is a poignant tale of honour, deception and fate. This is the story of Madame de -`s earrings. It is a story of jewellery, of love, of denial, of pain, of delight, of society, that has the simplicity of a fairy tale, the elegance of an eighteenth century roman-a-clef and the particular echoing loneliness that is a phenomenon of the twentieth century: the circle of deceit that society allows proves fatal to the honesty of intense passion. This novella became `The Earrings of Madame de`, a 1952 film directed by Max Ophuls. Translated from the French by Duff Cooper, Louise de Vilmorin`s `Madame De` is published by Pushkin Press
