The Publishers consider it a privilege to announce this English
translation of “Pour Moi Seule”—perhaps one of the finest products of
modern French literature.
Here are extracts from the review of the French edition in the _Times
Literary Supplement_ of March 25, 1920: “A book which can be read
with pleasure and recommended without reserve. It is not only an
excellent novel, but a fine piece of intuitive writing. Here there
seems to be a new modern Madame Bovary, a Madame Bovary who does
not commit adultery. It is that novel which recurs to one’s mind in
thinking of M. Corthis’s book, without any uneasy sensation that the
newer work is only a reflection of the older. M. Corthis has restated
the same general situation. Flaubert worked out the resulting tragedy
in one way and M. Corthis works it out quite differently, hardly with
less bitterness but with equal logic.... The virtuosity of M. Corthis
is never meaningless; he has created characters whose lives can
become part of one’s own, as if they were familiar acquaintances.”
