The novel's title characters are friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set on the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Île de France. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is recognized as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes in the late eighteenth century. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre lived on the island for a time and based part of the novel on a shipwreck he witnessed there.;<br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> The translation is by Jane Dalton. Cf. Malcolm Cook "Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's English correspondents during the French Revolution" in "British-French exchanges in the eighteenth century" edited by K. H. Doig & D. Medlin 10-11. CSP 2007. Patricia James in "Population Malthus" 1979 also attributes this translation to Jane Dalton.
