19742296430Penguin Books 1974. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Light sticker adhesive and crease on rear wrapper pages very lightly toned. 1974 Trade Paperback. 390 pp. "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 nineteenth-century 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 ex-soldier 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 novel-cycle The Human Comedy. Penguin Books paperback books
