Camille

Camille is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas fils, originally published in French in 1852. The story takes place in Paris during the mid-19th century and follows the tragic love affair between the young, beautiful courtesan Marguerite Gautier, known as Camille, and the wealthy young nobleman Armand Duval. Despite their deep love for each other, their relationship is doomed from the start due to the societal conventions of the time and the disapproval of Armand's family. As Camille's health deteriorates, the couple's love is put to the ultimate test. The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the societal pressures that can destroy even the strongest of relationships. Camille has been adapted into numerous stage productions, operas, and films, including the famous 1936 Hollywood adaptation starring Greta Garbo.""No, at Point du Jour, where we had dinner, the duke and I. While he was admiring the view, I asked Mme. Arnould (she is called Mme. Arnould, isn't she?) if there were any suitable rooms, and she showed me just the very thing: salon, anteroom, and bed-room, at sixty francs a month; the whole place furnished in a way to divert a hypochondriac. I took it. Was I right?"" I flung my arms around her neck and kissed her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
