Used book – La caste, Georges Bordonove

A passion so radiant, so blazing, that separations, even death, cannot destroy. "You are there, I see you, and yet you are inaccessible...I love you beyond all time!" Ending with this ultimate cry of love, the story of a dazzling passion, of a family of country gentry, of an old château nestled in a shimmering setting of greenery and tall foliage, in the shadow-veiled or light-drenched lands of the Vendée Bocage, perpetually whipped by the westerly winds from the Ocean. Also a hymn to nature, to the land, to friendship, to true life, punctuated by the eternal rhythm of the seasons. In a romantic and wonderfully picturesque setting, Blaise de Chablun, the last descendant of his line, will experience a passion that will transfigure his destiny, a love so brilliant that separations, even death, will never again be able to touch it. A truly great novel, harsh and fiery, carnal and ethereal, cruel and serene, of exceptional plastic and poetic beauty, of unforgettable emotional and dramatic intensity.
