On the tropical island of Mauritius, then the French Île de France, two young mothers living apart from French society raise their children, Paul and Virginia, together in a remote valley, far from the corruption of civilisation. The two grow up in innocent love among the forests and mountains, until Virginia is sent to France by a rich aunt to be educated and married, and her voyage home brings the story to its famous storm.
Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737–1814), a disciple of Rousseau who had lived on Mauritius, published the novel in 1788, and it was one of the best-selling books of its age, admired by Napoleon. Its lush descriptions of tropical nature influenced the Romantic writers. Compare Atala by Chateaubriand.
