Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Considered a founder of the realistic school of fiction, prolific French novelist Honore de Balzac (17991850) wrote in meticulous detail, depicting ordinary and undistinguished lives in tales that nevertheless abounded in melodramatic plots and violent passions. This convenient dual-language volume includes six of Balzac's most highly regarded short stories: "An Episode During the Terror," a deftly told tale contrasting material poverty with spiritual riches; "A Passion in the Desert," inspired by Balzac's interest in the Near East and his fascination with Napoleon; "The Revolutionary Conscript," a critique of provincial life; "The Forsaken Woman," an intriguing study of female psychology and a how-to seduction manual; "The Unknown Masterpiece," which focuses on the conflict between an artist's commitment to his work and his relationship with the woman who loves him; and "Facino Cane," a tale of a destitute blind man's dreams of restoring his former wealth and power. Stanley Appelbaum has provided excellent, line-for-line English translations of the text, as well as an informative introduction and notes related to each story. This superb selection of tales by one of the world's great writers of fiction is sure to delight students and devotees of French language and literature. Six short-story masterpieces by great French novelist include An Episode During the Terror, A Passion in the Desert, The Revolutionary Conscript, and three more. Excellent new English translations on facing pages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780486408958
