Between 1826 and 1828 Balzac purchased a printing house and partnered with a typographer but the enterprise went bankrupt in 1828.

Spine with raised bands decorated with 5 tools blind and gilt fillets head and tail rolls. Double fillet border on boards and corners. Some scattered browning. Louis Gillet bookplate. Very fine copy. La jacquerie and La famille de Carjaval are two dramatic and historical pieces that evoke Schiller's theatre. These dramatic scenes were intended to be read rather than performed. In La Jacquerie Mérimée reverses the vision of this peasant revolt through the prism of new romantic historiography and the peasants are no longer perceived as bloodthirsty barbarians but as victims of absolutism. With economy of means and a clear concise style Mérimée brings this feudal epic to life before our eyes. Brissot-Thivars hardcover
