Περιγραφή για History of the Thirteen Honore de Balzac Penguin Classics

Passionate and perceptive, the three short novels that make up Balzac\'s History of the Thirteen are concerned in part with the activities of a rich, powerful, sinister and unscrupulous secret society in nineteenth-century France. While the deeds of \'The Thirteen\' remain frequently in the background, however, the individual novels are concerned with exploring various forms of desire. A tragic love story, Ferragus depicts a marriage destroyed by suspicion, revelation and misunderstanding. The Duchess de Langeais explores the anguish that results when a society coquette tries to seduce a heroic ex-soldier, while The Girl with the Golden Eyes offers a frank consideration of desire and sexuality. Together, these works provide a firm and fascinating foundation for Balzac\'s many later portrayals of Parisian life in his great novel-cycle The Human Comedy. Σελίδες: 400, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
