Written in 1928 by French biographer and novelist Andre Maurois,
"Climates" became a best seller in France and all over Europe. The
first 100,000 copies printed of its Russian translation sold out
the day they appeared in Moscow bookstores. This magnificently
written novel about a double conjugal failure is imbued with subtle
yet profound psychological insights of a caliber that arguably
rivals Tolstoy's. Here Phillipe Marcenat, an erudite yet
conventional industrialist from central France, falls madly in love
with and marries the beautiful but unreliable Odile despite his
family's disapproval. Soon, Phillipe's possessiveness and jealousy
drive her away. Brokenhearted, Phillipe then marries the devoted
and sincere Isabelle and promptly inflicts on his new wife the very
same woes he endured at the hands of Odile. But Isabelle's
integrity and determination to save her marriage adds yet another
dimension to this extraordinary work on the dynamics and
vicissitudes of love.
