History of the Thirteen by Balzac, Honore de
ISBN: 9780140443011 PUBLISHER: Penguin Classics FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 608 PUBLICATION DATE: 29.08.1974 DIMENSIONS: 19.71 x 13.16 x 2.39 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: 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 nineteenthcentury 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 exsoldier, 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 novelcycle "The Human Comedy".
