Book Synopsis Cousin Pons, And, Old Goriot (Classic Reprint) by : Honoré de Balzac
Download or read book Cousin Pons, And, Old Goriot (Classic Reprint) written by Honoré de Balzac and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cousin Pons, And, Old Goriot One of the last and largest of Balzac's great works - the very last of them, if we except La Cousine Bette, to which it is pendant and contrast - Le Cousin Pons has always united sufirages from very different classes of admirers. In the first place, it is not disagreeable, as the common euphemism has it, and as La Cousine Bette certainly is. In the second, it cannot be accused of being a berguinade, as those who like Balzac best when he is doing moral rag picking are apt to describe books like Le Medecin de Campagne and Le Lys dans la Vallee, if not even like Eugenie Grandet. It has a considerable variety of inter est; its central figure is curiously pathetic and attractive, even though the curse of something like folly, which so often attends Balzac's good characters, may a little weigh on him. It would be a book of exceptional charm even if it were anonymous, or if we knew no more about the author than we know about Shakespeare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man named Raphaël de Valentin wagers his last coin and loses, then proceeds to the river Seine to drown himself. On the way, however, he decides to enter an unusual shop and finds it filled with curiosities from around the world. The elderly shopkeeper leads him to a piece of shagreen hanging on the wall. It is inscribed with "Oriental" writing; the old man calls it "Sanskrit", but it is imprecise Arabic. The skin promises to fulfill any wish of its owner, shrinking slightly upon the fulfillment of each desire. The shopkeeper is willing to let Valentin take it without charge, but urges him not to accept the offer. Valentin waves away the shopkeeper's warnings and takes the skin, wishing for a royal banquet, filled with wine, women, and friends. He is immediately met by acquaintances who invite him to such an event; they spend hours eating, drinking, and talking. But his actions must meet consequences. For each wish granted, the skin shrinks and consumes a portion of his physical energy.

Download or read book Cousin Betty written by Honoré de Balzac and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cousin Betty Volume 1 By Honoré de Balzac Written in 1846 at the height of Balzac's powers, this novel portrays the stunningly malevolent Cousin Bette and her intricate plans for revenge against the wealthy relatives on whom she depends and whose condescension she bitterly resents. As Bette's insidious deceit relentlessly unravels the lives of the obsessive womanizer Baron Hulot and his angelic wife, Adeline, Balzac displays a sense of verbal comedy as acute as Dickens's and creates a world that is vivid and densely real. Henry James considered him the greatest of all novelists; in Cousin Bette Balzac gives ample proof of his genius. Fox Searchlight's film adaptation, starring Jessica Lange and Elizabeth Shue, will be in theaters in June 1998.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Woman of Thirty Honoré de Balzac "Do let us go more quickly, father; I can hear the drums," the young girl said, and in a half-teasing, half-coaxing manner she urged her companion forward. "The troops are marching into the Tuileries," said he. "Or marching out of it--everybody is coming away," she answered in childish vexation, which drew a smile from her father. "The review only begins at half-past twelve," he said; he had fallen half behind his impetuous daughter. It might have been supposed that she meant to hasten their progress by a movement of her right arm, for it swung like an oar blade through the water. In her impatience she had crushed her handkerchief into a ball in her tiny, well-gloved fingers. Now and then the old man smiled, but the smiles were succeeded by an anxious look which crossed his withered face and saddened it.
