The Red Lily is a novel written by Anatole France, which was awarded the highest literary honor in France, the Immortals Crowned by the French Academy. The story is set in 18th century France and revolves around the love affair between a young aristocrat, Mlle. De Lesparre, and a young lawyer, Ma�����tre Andr�����-Louis Moreau. Their love is challenged by societal norms and the political upheaval of the time, as the French Revolution looms on the horizon. The novel explores themes of love, class struggle, and the power dynamics of the French aristocracy. It is a beautifully written and poignant story that captures the essence of the French literary tradition.She no longer knew why the idea had come to her to spend a month with Miss Bell. Truly, she never had known. The idea had been like a spring, at first hidden by leaves, and now forming the current of a deep and rapid stream. She remembered that Tuesday night at dinner she had said suddenly that she wished to go, but she could not remember the first flush of that desire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
