Marie

""Marie"" is a novel written by the renowned Russian author Alexander Pushkin. The story revolves around a young woman named Marie, who is the daughter of a wealthy landowner. She is beautiful, intelligent, and highly educated, but her life takes a dramatic turn when she falls in love with a poor artist named Vladimir. Despite the objections of her family and society, Marie chooses to marry Vladimir and live a life of poverty with him. The novel explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and the clash between social classes. Pushkin's masterful writing style and vivid descriptions bring the characters and settings to life, making ""Marie"" a timeless classic of Russian literature.""Ah! what folly; you have had some words with Alexis. What then? A harsh word can not be hung up by the neck. He gives you impertinence, give him the same; if he give you a slap, return the blow; he a second, you a third; in the end we will compel you to make peace. Whilst if you fight--well, if _you_ should kill _him_, God be with him! for I do not like him much; but if he should perforate you, what a nice piece of business! Then who will pay for the broken pots?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
