1929. From the dust jacket. Andre Maurois who wrote so
sympathetically of the lives of Disraeli and Shelley (Ariel) has
created here a novel of incomparable charm and originality.
Atmosphere of Love is a study of a man and the two women he loved.
In the opening chapters, Philippe Marcenat narrates his version of
his affair with the woman he loved, madly, jealously; in the latter
part of the novel the mirror is held up at a different angle and
Marcenat's second wife presents her estimate of her husband. By
this original device, we have a subtle and a living portrait of the
hero. At the same time, it is an analysis, profound and clarifying,
of the nature and the course of love and the devastating effect of
human jealousy. Virginia Woolf, the author of Orlando says of this
novel: It would be difficult to find a fellow to it in English. One
cannot bring to mind at the moment any living English writer so
intelligent, so dextrous, so accomplished as M. Maurois. See other
