Summary: "Bernardin de St. Pierre" by Arvède Barine is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and literary contributions of Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, known primarily for his classic novel "Paul and Virginia." The biography delves into Saint-Pierre's unique perspective on nature, his philosophical views, and the emotional struggles that shaped his writings. At the start of the biography, the author describes Saint-Pierre's early life, highlighting his family's eccentricities and his childhood experiences that fostered a deep connection with nature.

As he embarks on various voyages and encounters notable figures, we see the unfolding of his literary journey, revealing the complex interplay between his personal experiences and his eventual writings.
