Synopsis
Originally published in 1832 as part of Balzac's SCENES FROM PRIVATE LIFE, this novella is about an officer believed to have been killed in the Napoleonic Wars, who returns to find his wife remarried and his property in the hands of lawyers. This is the French-language version of the novella.
Industry Reviews
"[T]his energetic novella offers a virtually perfect introduction to Balzac's teeming 'Comédie Humaine'....Both Balzac's infuriating digressiveness and his matchless grasp of the individual submerged in, and overwhelmed by, society are vividly present in this strongly imagined and affecting story."
Kirkus (12/01/1997)
