Overview
""Folle Farine"" is a novel written by Ouida, a pseudonym for the English author Maria Louise Ram�����. The book was first published in 1891 and tells the story of a young French woman named Th�����r�����se, who is forced to leave her home and family to marry a wealthy man she does not love. Th�����r�����se's husband, Count Raoul de Vandi�����res, is a cruel and abusive man who treats her like a possession rather than a human being. Despite her unhappy marriage, Th�����r�����se finds solace in the company of her friend, the Marquise de Montferrand, who introduces her to the world of art and literature. Through her friendship with the Marquise, Th�����r�����se discovers her own passions and talents, and begins to rebel against the oppressive society in which she lives. As Th�����r�����se becomes more independent and self-assured, she attracts the attention of other men, including the handsome and charming Prince Zouroff. But Th�����r�����se must navigate the treacherous waters of aristocratic society, where scandal and gossip can ruin even the most innocent of reputations. ""Folle Farine"" is a powerful story of a woman's struggle for freedom and self-expression in a society that seeks to silence her. Ouida's vivid descriptions of French society and culture in the late 19th century provide a rich backdrop for this compelling tale of love, betrayal, and redemption.The old serving woman, terrified in so far as her dull brutish nature could be roused to fear, did what she knew, what she dared. She raised the little wounded naked creature, and carried her to her own pallet bed; restored her to consciousness by such rude means as she had knowledge of, and staunched the flow of blood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
