A Page of Love

A Page of Love Book Description

A Page of Love, published in 1878, is the eighth book in the twenty-book series titled "The Rougon and Macquart Families: The Natural and Social History of a Family in the Second Empire", which Emile Zola completed in twenty-two years. A Love Page, published between the two most noisy novels of the series, Meyhane and Nana, is like a calm stop, a respite in the middle of these two stormy novels.

The novel tells the secret love between widow Hélène Grandjean, who lives with her sick daughter in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris, and her neighbor Doctor Deberle. The turmoil created in the soul of a child by love that pierces a monotonous life; A woman struggling between her loneliness, ambition and motherhood; Different social groups experience love differently...

While Hélène, the main character of the novel, is lost in thought while sewing on the windowsill, the readers witness both all of this and the views of Paris depicted with a great power of observation. Paris is literally one of the heroes of this novel.

We present to our readers A Page of Love, which was adapted into the cinema like many other novels of the author due to its dramatic power, in the fluent Turkish of our country's most competent Zola translator, Hamdi Varoğlu.
