Summary "Paul ja Virginia" by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre is a novel written in the late 18th century. This story is recognized for its tender depiction of the bond between the two main characters, Paul and Virginia, set against the lush backdrop of the tropics. The novel explores themes of love, nature, and the simple joys of life, offering readers a glimpse into the passionate and tragic unfolding of the characters’ lives. The opening of the book introduces us to the peaceful environment of Ile de France (now Mauritius), where the narrator recalls the ruins of two small houses that once belonged to families living in harmony with nature. The narrative takes a reflective tone, as it presents a conversation between the narrator and an elderly man who reminisces about the past lives of Paul and Virginia. We learn that Paul and Virginia were raised in close proximity, sharing an intimate bond characterized by mutual care and affection. As their lives unfold, the joyful simplicity of their childhood friendship is established, setting the stage for anticipated challenges and emotional depth that are likely to follow in their journey.
