Orgueil Vaincu is a novel written by Mary Floran in 1898. The title, translated to English, means ''Vanquished Pride.'' The story follows the life of a wealthy and proud young woman named Marguerite de la Roche, who lives in Paris during the 19th century. Marguerite is beautiful, intelligent, and charming, but her pride often leads her to make poor decisions that ultimately lead to her downfall.Marguerite’s father is a successful businessman who has built his fortune through hard work and determination. He wants his daughter to marry a wealthy man who can provide her with the same level of comfort and luxury that she has always enjoyed. However, Marguerite is determined to marry for love, not money, and sets her sights on a young artist named Paul.Despite her father’s objections, Marguerite marries Paul and they move to a small village in the countryside. However, their marriage is not as idyllic as Marguerite had hoped. Paul is struggling to make a living as an artist, and Marguerite finds herself feeling bored and unfulfilled in their quiet life.As Marguerite’s pride and arrogance continue to get in the way of her happiness, she begins to make choices that have disastrous consequences. Her marriage falls apart, and she is forced to confront the consequences of her actions.Orgueil Vaincu is a compelling tale of love, pride, and redemption that explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of forgiveness. Through Marguerite’s journey, readers are reminded that sometimes the greatest victories come from admitting one’s mistakes and learning to let go of pride.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
