ABSTRACT
L’ histoire de la réception de Paul et Virginie se confond avec celle des larmes et des soupirs que suscita le roman lors de sa publication. Si l’on en croit les souvenirs rapportés par le comte Emmanuel de Las Cases dans le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène, Napoléon lui-même aurait été, comme plusieurs de ses contemporains, profondément ému à la lecture de la pastorale touchante de ce jeune couple vertueux, élevé comme frère et sœur dans le décor idyllique de l’Île de France.
