    <![CDATA['Who is going to marry Eugenie Grandet?' This is the question that fills the minds of the inhabitants of Saumur, the setting for Eugenie Grandet (1833), one of the earliest and most famous novels in Balzac's Comedie humaine. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugenie's cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugenie's emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel.<br/><br/>Eugenie's moving story is set against the backdrop of provincial oppression, the vicissitudes of the wine trade, and the workings of the financial system in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It is both a poignant portrayal of private life and a vigorous fictional document of its age.]]>

    <![CDATA[“Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying,” wrote V. S. Pritchett. A late masterpiece in Balzac’s <em>La Comédie Humaine, Cousin Bette</em> is the story of a Vosges peasant who rebels against her scornful upper-class relatives, skillfully turning their selfish obsessions against them. The novel exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac’s “huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality.”]]>

    <![CDATA[The Ladies' Paradise (Au Bonheur des Dames) recounts the spectacular development of the modern department store in late nineteenth century Paris. The store is a symbol of capitalism, of the modern city, and of the bourgeois family; it is emblematic of consumer culture and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century.     Octave Mouret, the store's owner-manager, masterfully exploits the desires of his female customers. In his private life as much as in business he is the great seducer. But when he falls in love with the innocent Denise Baudu, he discovers she is the only one of the salesgirls who refuses to be commodified.     This new translation of the eleventh book in the Rougon-Macquart cycle captures the spirit of one of Zola's greatest novels of the modern city.]]>

    <![CDATA[The story of a French military hero of the Napoleonic Wars, long assumed to be dead, tries to recover his fortune and former wife through the help of a famous Parisian lawyer. Colonel Chabert, a Napoleonic War hero supposedly killed in the Battle of Eylau, returns to Paris after a long convalescence to find his wife remarried, and his pension gone. He employs a young, well-known lawyer to at least reclaim his pension. It is a game of wits: first to convince the lawyer that he is who he says he is; secondly to get his wife to admit to his identity and thereby give up some of her wealth. Once the lawyer believes Chabert's story, the wife must be made to part with his pension...]]>

    <![CDATA[A New York Review Books Original<br/><br/>One of Honoré de Balzac's most celebrated tales, <em>The Unknown Masterpiece</em> is the story of a painter who, depending on one's perspective, is either an abject failure or a transcendental genius&#8212;or both. The story, which has served as an inspiration to artists as various as Cézanne, Henry James, Picasso, and New Wave director Jacques Rivette, is, in critic Dore Ashton's words, a &quot;fable of modern art.&quot;<br/><br/>Published here in a new translation by poet Richard Howard, <em>The Unknown Masterpiece</em> appears, as Balzac intended, with <em>Gambara</em>, a grotesque and tragic novella about a musician undone by his dreams.]]>

    <![CDATA[She belongs to that feminine variety which the Romans call fulva, flava--the woman of fire. And in chief, what struck me the most, what I am still taken with, are her two yellow eyes, like a tiger's, a golden yellow that gleams, living gold, gold which thinks, gold which loves, and is determined to take refuge in your pocket.]]>

    <![CDATA[Philippe and Joseph Bridau are two extremely different brothers. The elder, Philippe, is a superficially heroic soldier and adored by their mother Agathe. He is nonetheless a bitter figure, secretly gambling away her savings after a brief but glorious career in Napoleon's army. His younger brother Joseph, meanwhile, is fundamentally virtuous - but their mother is blinded to his kindness by her disapproval of his life as an artist. Foolish and prejudiced, Agathe lives on unaware that she is being cynically manipulated by her own favourite child, but will she ever discover which of her sons is truly the black sheep of the family? A dazzling depiction of the power of money and the cruelty of life in nineteenth-century France, The Black Sheep compellingly explores is a compelling exploration of the nature of deceit.]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>The Wrong Side of Paris,</em> the final novel in Balzac’s <em>The Human Comedy,</em> is the compelling story of Godefroid, an abject failure at thirty, who seeks refuge from materialism by moving into a monastery-like lodging house in the shadows of Notre-Dame. Presided over by Madame de La Chanterie, a noblewoman with a tragic past, the house is inhabited by a remarkable band of men—all scarred by the tumultuous aftermath of the French Revolution—who have devoted their lives to performing anonymous acts of charity. Intrigued by the Order of the Brotherhood of Consolation and their uplifting dedication to virtuous living, Godefroid strives to follow their example. He agrees to travel—incognito—to a Parisian slum to save a noble family from ruin. There he meets a beautiful, ailing Polish woman who lives in great luxury, unaware that just outside her bedroom door her own father and son are suffering in dire poverty. By proving himself worthy of the Brotherhood, Godefroid finds his own spiritual redemption.<br/>This vivid portrait of the underbelly of nineteenth-century Paris, exuberantly rendered by Jordan Stump, is the first major translation in more than a century of Balzac’s forgotten masterpiece<em> L’Envers de l’histoire contemporaine.</em> Featuring an illuminating Introduction by Adam Gopnik, this original Modern Library edition also includes explanatory notes.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Ursula&quot; (original French title &quot;Ursule Mirouet,&quot; 1842) forms one part of &quot;Scenes from Provincial Life,&quot; a series of novels-whose other major work is &quot;Eugenie Grandet&quot;-examining manners and morals in the French provinces. --- Among all the novels of Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), none depicts so penetratingly the small-mindedness, avarice, and envy of the provincial lower middle classes. In &quot;Ursula&quot;, no limitations based on morality or decency will hold these people back in their effort to acquire wealth and influence. --- Along with Stendhal, Balzac is the most important French novelist of the first half of the nineteenth century, and a founder of the realistic novel in Europe. His principal work is the unfinished cycle &quot;The Human Comedy&quot; (French: &quot;La Comedie Humaine,&quot; which includes &quot;Scenes from Provincial Life&quot;), in which he attempted, in more than 80 volumes, to depict the society of his time in its entirety.]]>

    <![CDATA[Novel. &quot;Balzac depicts more forcefully than anyone else ever has the way a whole life and a whole family can be destroyed when an individual is taken over by unbridled passion&quot;-Gustave Lanson. In Balzac's classic study of obsession, a chance meeting changes Balthazar Claes' life as it introduces him to alchemy and initiates his quest of the absolute. Throughout, our sympathy is equally divided between Balthazar's single-minded determination to push back the frontiers of knowledge at whatever price, and the ruin of his family. THE QUEST OF THE ABSOLUTE was first published in France in 1834 and appears in a new edition from Dedalus, translated by Ellen Marriage and with an afterword and chronology by Christopher Smith.]]>

    <![CDATA[In 1824, at the last opera ball of the season, several masks were struck by the beauty of a youth who was wandering about the passages and greenroom with the air of a man in search of a woman kept at home by unexpected circumstances. The secret of this behavior, now dilatory and again hurried, is known only to old women and to certain experienced loungers.]]>

His large output of works, collectively entitled The Human Comedy (La Comédie Humaine), consists of 95 finished works (stories, novels and  essays) and 48 unfinished works. His stories are an attempt to comprehend and depict the realities of life in contemporary bourgeois France. They are placed in a variety of settings, with characters reappearing in multiple stories.]]>

    <![CDATA[Honoré Balzac, dit Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) est un romancier, critique littéraire, essayiste, journaliste et écrivain français. Il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands écrivains français dans le domaine du roman réaliste, du roman philosophique et du roman fantastique par Gérard Gengembre, G. Vannier, le philosophe Alain, et Albert Béguin. Charles Baudelaire voyait en lui un visionnaire. Balzac est cependant difficile à classer dans l'une ou l'autre catégorie, son oeuvre couvrant un champ si vaste que les critiques, tant de son siècle que du siècle suivant, passeront beaucoup de temps à lui chercher une étiquette appropriée sans y parvenir. Son oeuvre monumentale, La Comédie Humaine, cycle cohérent de plusieurs dizaines de romans, nouvelles, contes philosophiques a pour ambition de décrire de façon quasi-exhaustive la société française de son temps ou, selon la formule célèbre, de faire &quot;concurrence à l'état-civil&quot;. Il n'hésite pas, en pleine Monarchie de Juillet, à afficher ses convictions légitimistes. Autres titles de Balzac comprennent: Jean-Louis (1822), Clotilde de Lusignan (1822) et Wann-Chlore (1826).]]>

    <![CDATA[Contains two stories: Napoleonder, and The Napoleon of the People. First published in 1902. To the anthropologist and the student of human nature the stories are extremely valuable as self-revelations of national character; and even to the historian and the biographer they have some interest as evidences of the profoundly deep impression made by Napoleon's personality upon two great peoples - the Russians and the French.]]>
