About this eBook

Author Duras, Claire de Durfort, duchesse de, 1777-1828
Title Edouard
Credits Produced by Daniel Fromont
Summary "Edouard" by duchesse de Claire de Durfort Duras is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds primarily through the perspective of Edouard, a melancholic young man whose journey is marked by deep personal loss and emotional turmoil, as he grapples with profound feelings of despair and the search for connection amidst societal constraints. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to a young man sailing toward Baltimore, where he encounters Edouard, a fellow passenger whose sorrowful demeanor quickly captures the narrator's attention. As they share a voyage, the narrator is drawn to Edouard’s mysteriousness and depth but struggles to penetrate the walls of silence he maintains regarding his painful past. Through reflections on life, death, and societal injustices, Edouard's character is revealed as one shaped profoundly by loss and disappointment, evoking both pity and admiration from those around him. Their relationship evolves against the backdrop of war, companionship, and the relentless weight of grief, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of love and emotional resilience.
