By reading this summary, you will discover that running away from love is actually a way to live it.

You will also discover:

• that passion always seems more powerful than reason;
• that the advice of moral guides does not guarantee happiness;
• that there is always an element of mediocrity in worldly love affairs;
• that passion shows you how little you know yourself;
• that to make a passion real would be to extinguish it.

The Princess of Cleves has marked the history of literature for its psychological precision. The plot of the novel revolves around the love of two characters, the Princess of Cleves and the Duke of Nemours. It is not so much structured by the episodes of their history, as by the inner torments that agitate the young woman. Guided by a morality that knows no flexibility or compromise, she flees a love that would make her an unfaithful, even after the death of her husband. Even if the character refuses this passion, this one has nevertheless, like all the great stories, a part of sublime. Will you agree with her conception of the madness of love?
