These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: They were no sooner gone but they began to launch out into the praises of Mademoiselle de Chartres, without bounds; they were sensible at length that they had run into excess in her commendation, and so both gave over for that time; but they were obliged the next day to renew the subject, for this new-risen beauty long continued to supply discourse to the whole Court; the Queen herself was lavish in her praise, and showed her particular marks of favour; the Queen-Dauphin made her one of her favourites, and begged her mother to bring her often to her Court; the Princesses, the Kings daughters, made her a party in all their diversions; in short, she had the love and admiration of the whole Court, except that of the Duchess of Valentinois: not that this young beauty gave her umbrage; long experience convinced her she had nothing to fear on the part of the King, and she had to great a hatred for the Viscount of Chartres, whom she had endeavoured to bring into her interest by marrying him with one of her daughters, and who had joined himself to the Queens party, that she could not have the least favourable thought of a person who bore his name, and was a great object of his friendship. ...Madam de Valentinois being jealous of a lady whom he had formerly loved, and whose wit and beauty were capable of lessening her interest, joined herself to the Constable, who was no more desirous than herself that the King should marry a sister of the Duke of Guise; they possessed the deceased King with their sentiments; and though he mortally hated the Duchess of Valentinois, and loved the Queen, he joined his endeavours with theirs to prevent the divorce; but in order to take from the King all thoughts of marrying the Queen my mother, they struck up a marriage between her and the King of Scotland, who had had for his first wife the Kings sister, and they did this because it was the easiest to be brought to a conclusion, though they failed in their engagements to the King of England, who was very desirous of marrying her; and that failure wanted but little of occasioning a rupture between the two Crowns: for Henry the Eighth was inconsolable, when he found himself disappointed in his expectations of marrying my mother; and whatever other Princess of France was proposed to him, he always said, nothing could make him amends for her he had been deprived of. ...He frequently went to the Queen-Dauphins Court, because the Princess of Cleves was often there, and he was very easy in leaving people in the opinion they had of his passion for that Queen; he put so great a value on Madam de Cleves, that he resolved to be rather wanting in giving proofs of his love, than to hazard its being publicly known; he did not so much as speak of it to the Viscount de Chartres, who was his intimate friend, and from whom he concealed nothing; the truth is, he conducted this affair with so much discretion, that nobody suspected he was in love with Madam de Cleves, except the Chevalier de Guise; and she would scarcely have perceived it herself, if the inclination she had for him had not led her into a particular attention to all his actions, but which she was convinced of it.

La Princesse de Cleves is a French novel which was published anonymously in March 1678. It is regarded by many as the beginning of the modern tradition of the psychological novel, and as a great classic work. Its author is generally held to be Madame de La Fayette.

Nearly every character - though not the heroine - is a historical figure. Events and intrigues unfold with great faithfulness to documentary record. Mademoiselle de Chartres is a sheltered heiress, sixteen years old, whose mother has brought her to the court of Henri II to seek a husband with good financial and social prospects. When old jealousies against a kinsman spark intrigues against the young ingénue, the best marriage prospects withdraw. The young woman follows her mother's recommendation and accepts the overtures of a middling suitor, the Prince de Cleves. After the wedding, she meets the dashing Duke de Nemours. The two fall in love, yet do nothing to pursue their affections, limiting their contact to an occasional visit in the now-Princess of Cleves's salon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel is set in the middle of the 16th century. Madame de Chartres, for many years after the death of her husband, has lived far away from the court, and now came with her daughter to Paris. Mademoiselle de Chartres goes to a jeweler to choose something. There she accidentally meets the Prince of Cleves, the second son of the Duke of Nevers, who falls in love with her at first sight. He wants to know who this young lady is, and the sister of King Henry II, because of the friendship of one of her maids of honor with Madame de Chartres, introduces young beauty at the court the next day, and she causes a general admiration. Seeing that the nobility of the beloved is not inferior to her beauty, Prince of Cleves wants to marry her, but is afraid that the proud Madame de Chartres deems him unworthy of her daughter because he was not the eldest son of the Duke. The Duke of Nevers does not want his son to marry Mademoiselle de Chartres, which hurts Madame de Chartres, thinking her daughter to be an enviable party. The family of another pretender of the hand of a young lady - the Chevalier de Guise - does not want to intermarry, and Madame de Chartres is trying to find her daughter a party, which would have ennobled her over those who considered themselves above her. Her choice falls on the eldest son of the Duke de Montpensier, but because of the intrigues of a longtime mistress of the King Duchesse de Valantinua, her plans suffer crash. The Duke of Nevers suddenly dies, and the Prince of Cleves soon asks for the hand of Mademoiselle de Chartres. Madame de Chartres asked her daughter's opinion and heard that she had no special inclination towards the Prince of Cleves, but respected his dignity so she accepted the proposal; soon, Mademoiselle de Chartres became the princess of Cleves. Being raised in strict rules, she behaves impeccably, and virtue gives her peace and respect. The Prince of Cleves loves his wife, but feels that she does not respond to his passionate love. It clouds his happiness.
