Gaston De Latour An Unfinished Romance is a novel written by Walter Horatio Pater. The book tells the story of Gaston De Latour, a Frenchman who is torn between his love for a woman named Marie and his duty to his country. The novel takes place during the French Revolution and explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice. As the title suggests, the novel is unfinished, as Pater died before he could complete it. Despite this, the book remains a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important writers of the 19th century. Pater's prose is rich and evocative, and his characters are complex and nuanced. Overall, Gaston De Latour An Unfinished Romance is a must-read for anyone interested in French literature, the French Revolution, or the works of Walter Horatio Pater.Those who were curious to trace the symmetries of chance or destiny felt now quite secure in observing that, of nine French kings of the name, every third Charles had been a madman.
