Oeuvres: Le Monde Comme Il Est Suivi De Ethel

Le Monde comme il est offers a fierce portrait of the Norman countryside, the Paris of the nobility, and above all else the tragic passion shared by the plain Mlle. de Senaer and M. d'Offlize. Taking place in 1830s France, Ethel recounts how M. de Montlhery ultimately falls all-consumingly in love with Ethel, the pure and heavenly Irish woman.
