Descripción
Sumario:In this edition of the classic short novel, The Wife of Martin Guerre, the editor writes that the author's story is "a ... novel of astonishing depth and resonance, a sharply drawn historical tale that asks contemporary questions about identity and belonging, about men and women, and about an individual's capacity to act within an inflexible system." Originally published in 1941, the novel has earned the respect and admiration of critics and readers for over sixty years. Based on a notorious trial in sixteenth-century France, this story of Bertrande de Rols is the first of three novels making up the author's Cases of Circumstantial Evidence suite.
