Product Description
•••••
What Was Lost, first published in French in 1930, serves as a prelude to François Mauriac's masterwork The Dark Angels. The personalities of Alain Forcas and his sister, Tota, are sketched by Mauriac against the backdrop of the dishonest Hervé and the ill Irène's deteriorating marriage. Faced with dysfunctional family relationships, dissatisfied careers, and the ongoing, restless search for God's presence in the modern world, the men and women in What Was Lost struggle for meaning and pleasure while competing selfishly and deceitfully with one another. What Was Lost is a tense and sorrowful novel that marks the Nobel Prize-winning Mauriac's first and excellent attempt to bring his artistic philosophy to life in fiction.
