Jocasta...Love and death

This novel is inspired by the legend of Jocasta, Queen of Thebes, wife of Laius, and mother of Oedipus, as its events revolve around a young girl named "Helen," who marries according to her father's will to a wealthy man, to whom she has no affection, but whose life is turned upside down.
In the work, Anatole France raises psychological and existential questions about the concept of right and wrong, and the confusion of the human being torn between them, and uses rich and interesting dialogues to clarify his heroine's vision of life, and what led her to continue on her mysterious path, in a hidden intersection with Jocasta's original life, despite the differences. The big difference between them and the time dimension.
Anatole France is a French poet, novelist, and critic. He is considered one of the most prominent thinkers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1921 AD for his collection of works.
