Definitely not for everyone this one, and it seems to be extremely polarizing even among Balzacien/nes for its complete remove from the realist style he's usually credited for, high pulp quotient, cloak and dagger antics, melodrama and eccentric cast of characters. I've got to say though for as much as I can recognize its drawbacks, I found this really fascinating for its focus on taboo subjects, mysteriously seedy and almost noir atmosphere and flowery, descriptive prose; a good chunk of this novelette is a detailed and memorably characterized analysis of Paris and its different classes which seems to set things at a much slower pace than the breakneck insanity it descends into from there. Speaking of which, I have to respect just how much Balzac was willing to throw things to the wall for the ending which drops a pretty monumental twist reframing all that's come before it. Unique, sometimes quite difficult reading in the original French, a little scattershot and sloppy in its execution, not for everyone... but definitely for me. ( ) Though it begins with some promise with astute (and highly pessimistic) observations of the Parisian character, that is where it should have stayed. The novel itself is abrupt, disturbing, confusing, and dour. Pass on this, and read Père Goriot I should note, however, that Balzac's home and gardens were probably my favorite spot in Paris. A Balzac novella that is part of the History of the Thirteen, although in this translation published as a standalone work. Its interest lies mainly in how shocking it is to imagine such a novel being written in the 19th century: a man seduces a young girl who is zealously guarded by her family, the girl makes him dress up in women‰ÃƒÂ›Ã‚ªs clothing and calls him by a woman‰Ûªs name when they make love, he returns to her the next night vowing to kill her for it but discovers she has already been murdered ‰ÛÒ by her other lover, who just happens to be his long lost half sister. The plot driven portion of the novella is preceded by a lengthy and somewhat dull morphology of the exemplary specimens of the different stratas of Parisian life. Overall enjoyable and worth reading but falls on the uneven side of Balzac. But worth reading nonetheless. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Honore Balzac, dit Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) est un romancier, critique litteraire, essayiste, journaliste et ecrivain francais. Il est considere comme l un des plus grands ecrivains francais dans le domaine du roman realiste, du roman philosophique et du roman fantastique par Gerard Gengembre, G. Vannier, le philosophe Alain, et Albert Beguin. Charles Baudelaire voyait en lui un visionnaire. Balzac est cependant difficile a classer dans l une ou l autre categorie, son oeuvre couvrant un champ si vaste que les critiques, tant de son siecle que du siecle suivant, passeront beaucoup de temps a lui chercher une etiquette appropriee sans y parvenir. Son oeuvre monumentale, La Comedie Humaine, cycle coherent de plusieurs dizaines de romans, nouvelles, contes philosophiques a pour ambition de decrire de facon quasi-exhaustive la societe francaise de son temps ou, selon la formule celebre, de faire concurrence a l etat-civil . Il n hesite pas, en pleine Monarchie de Juillet, a afficher ses convictions legitimistes. Autres titles de Balzac comprennent: Jean-Louis (1822), Clotilde de Lusignan (1822) et Wann-Chlore (1826).
