Description
Thérèse Desqueyroux is François Mauriac’s masterpiece and one of the great works of French literature, telling the unforgettable story of a young woman trapped in an unhappy marriage. Consumed by despair and emotional suffocation, Thérèse finds herself driven to contemplate murder. Mauriac portrays a haunting portrait of isolation and inner turmoil, exploring complex themes of forgiveness, dignity, and the search for fulfillment. Set in the hot, stormy outskirts of Bordeaux, the novel delves deep into Thérèse’s troubled mind, a character who has captivated generations of readers. Mauriac himself noted that he used techniques inspired by silent films—abrupt openings, flashbacks, and minimal exposition—creating a narrative that felt bold and surprising for its time.
