«La azucena roja» is the novel by French writer Anatole France, published by Signo Editores in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
The work narrates the romance between a woman married to a politician and an artist. A trip to Florence consummates a passionate, almost mystical union, but jealousy takes hold of the lover and ends the relationship. The plot partly draws on the relationship France himself had with Madame de Caillavet.

Will appeal to those seeking classic French fiction, love stories with jealousy, and a work by a Nobel Prize in Literature winner.
Anatole France was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".
