La Vie de Marianne
Ratings2
Average rating4.5
Marianne, d'origine noble, a été enlevée par des brigands dans son enfance. Devenue lingère, elle manoeuvre avec habileté entre les avances excessives de M. de Climal et l'amour de M. de Valville. Roman d'apprentissage qui mêle les aventures, les analyses, la peinture des moeurs, aussi bien aristocratiques que populaires.

I wanted to read the book because of it being referenced in “La vie d'Adele” and now over 10 years have passed and i've completely forgotten most of the movie lol.
But anyway, i'm glad i read it, a french classic, and like all french classics they're always lovely to read. I still haven't figured out if Marivaux chose not to finish the book or if it happened accidentally, the change in interlocutor mid way makes me think it's the former. I could've read another 1000 page, it's entertaining to see how humans were in the 18th century, and how similar they still are now. Enjoying reading the analysis too.
Thinking of rewatching the movie or at least its beginning, to remember what parallelism other than the title there is between the two.
