It follows the amorous adventures of Frederic Moreau, a law student who, returning home to Normandy from Paris, notices Mme Arnoux, a slender, dark woman several years older than himself. It is the beginning of an infatuation that will last a lifetime. He befriends her husband, an influential businessman, and as their paths cross and re-cross over the years, Mme Arnoux remains the constant, unattainable love of Moreau's life. Blending love story, historical authenticity, and satire, <I>Sentimental Education</I> is one of the great French novels of the nineteenth century. 314156 book 1869 Sentimental Education total:916|5:303|4:333|3:208|2:53|1:19| 916 3596 1617 115 5 3 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 11:37:37 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 11:41:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Jan 10 07:39:36 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 07:55:43 -0800 2008
