«Le Désert de l'amour» is the novel by François Mauriac, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (244 pages, in French).
Raymond Courrèges, now an adult, recognizes Maria Cross in a bar — the woman he loved with burning passion as a teenager and who rejected him. This encounter brings back memories of that love, along with the muted rivalry between a father and son over the same woman. Set in Paris in the 1920s, the novel portrays the disillusionment and sterility of human passions.
The work was originally published in 1925 and belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection, number 691.
A work of twentieth-century French literature, winner of the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie française in 1926, for readers interested in psychological narrative of the interwar period.
François Charles Mauriac was a French novelist, dramatist, critic, poet, and journalist, a member of the Académie française, and laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature (1952). He was awarded the Grand Cross of the Légion d'honneur in 1958.
