Ni ange, ni bête
"Ni ange, ni bête" by André Maurois is a novel published in 1919. Set during the final years of France's July Monarchy, this historical fiction reimagines the troubled marriage of poet Percy Shelley and Harriet Westbrook in the town of Abbeville. Philippe Viniès, an idealistic young engineer with republican convictions, marries Geneviève de Vaulges, only to face a test of loyalty when his cynical friend Lucien attempts to seduce her. The story explores naïveté, betrayal, and the costs of idealism against the backdrop of revolutionary upheaval.
