Le Colonel Chabert
by Honoré de Balzac
by Honoré de Balzac
One of the weaker Balzac books I read, high on description and rhetoric and low on plot. A little too reliant on the pathetic degradation of once-proud figures.
"A mischievous and mordant smile expressed the kind of half-philosophical and half-satirical ideas that come naturally to a man positioned to see behind the lies that most Parisian families use to conceal their lives." What a run-on!
