Pierre and Luce

Beschrijving van het boek

Set against the backdrop of World War I, 'Pierre and Luce' is a heart-wrenching love story that captures the psychological effects of war on two young lovers. Romain Rolland masterfully crafts a narrative that balances hope and hopelessness, depicting the disillusionment of a lost generation disillusioned with nationalism and false promises of governments. Pierre and Luce come from different social classes, making their love all the more complicated. They know their love is doomed due to the social restrictions, but they are brought together by the looming threat of war, which serves as a unifying force between them.
