Rahir indique que ''Les Etudes de la Nature avaient commencÂŽ ˆ para”tre dÂs 1786 mais que les ÂŽditions suivantes contiennent des chapitres nouveaux. C'est dans celle de 1788 que paržt pour la premiÂre fois le roman de Paul et Virginie''. L'iconographie se compose d'un frontispice gravÂŽ en tÂte du premier volume d'aprÂs Jean-Michel Moreau le Jeune ainsi que de 5 jolies planches dÂŽpliantes gravÂŽes. ''Saint-Pierre fut nommÂŽ par Louis XVI intendant du Jardin royal et du cabinet d'histoire naturelle du Roi en place de Buffon. Il mÂŽditait depuis longtemps le plan de cet ouvrage. Il racontera plus tard lui-mÂme dans Les Voeux d'un solitaire quelles difficultÂŽs il eut ˆ surmonter pour trouver un imprimeur qui voulut se charger de l'impression. La chose ÂŽtait d'autan moins facile que cette impression exigeait des avances considÂŽrables dont l'auteur ne pouvait faire qu'une faible partie. ''Bernardin de Saint-Pierre le crÂŽateur de Paul et Virginie est surtout lÕauteur dÕune apologÂŽtique les ƒtudes de la nature et les Harmonies de la nature. Ces Ãuvres imprÂŽgnÂŽes du climat intellectuel dÕune ÂŽpoque o la mÂŽtaphysique chrÂŽtienne est confrontÂŽe ˆ lÕintÂŽrÂt des CartÂŽsiens et des EncyclopÂŽdistes pour la physique sont une affirmation de la parole comme signe dÕhumanitÂŽ. '' Gabriel R. Thibault. Quant au roman Paul et Virginie il met en scÂne les deux protagonistes ÂŽponymes et ssus de deux familles diffÂŽrentes. Mais pourtant ÂŽlevÂŽs en commun - comme un frÂre et une sÃur - sur fond de splendeur naturelle des paysages tropicaux de l”le Maurice. Mais ˆ l'adolescence des sentiments amoureux naissent entre les deux personnages. La mÂre de Virginie Madame de la Tour dÂŽcide alors de l'ÂŽloigner de Paul en envoyant sa fille ÂŽtudier en France laissant Paul ˆ son chagrin. Plusieurs annÂŽes aprÂs Virginie annonce son retour sur l'”le mais le navire qui la ramÂne de France est pris dans une tempÂte. Appartenant au registre pathÂŽtique Paul et Virginie dÂŽcrit avec force les sentiments amoureux et la nostalgie du paradis perdu. Au-delˆ du cadre exotique et de la description d'une sociÂŽtÂŽ idyllique Bernardin de Saint-Pierre expose dans ce roman sa vision pessimiste de l'existence.
