Ce court roman de Balzac est une image de la vie mondaine lors du XIXe siècle lors du règne de Napoléon.

Contains some of Balzac's earlier and (in my opinion anyway) lesser short stories, but is worth a read for the classics 'Abbe Birotteau' and 'Colonel Chabert'.
The edition I have is a 1958 Penguin Classics Middlesex (with a translation by Marion Ayton Crawford edited by E. V. Rieu.).This includes some short stories I cannot so far find published anywhere else alone: ie. "Before Jena"(An Episode from A Mysterious Affair), and The Abbe Birotteau.
This was the first book I read by Honore de Balzac. It's a great short drama you can read in just a few hours.
