Helene is written by Pierre Jean Jouve and published by Northwestern University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 081016003X (ISBN 10) and 9780810160033 (ISBN 13).

After his marriage to a psychiatrist nine years his senior, Jouve's work, once marked by the great Christian mystics, became grounded in the Freudian unconscious, site of the conflict between Eros and Thanatos. Hélène is the story of a sixteen-year-old boy's passion for an older woman. Originally published in 1934, it is considered the high point of Jouve's prose career.
