most interesting characters with different passions - By: , 09 Mar 2002
This is an amazing book for those who are interested in daily life bothers of people with remarkable passions. The interesting figures of the novel:a husband who loves his caring & self-denying wife but cannot resist his passion towards a coldhearted beauty, a cousin who enjoys the pains of her "protecting" relatives & a number of other figures from different spheres of society with varying ambitions. You will enjoy this great book & learn more about not only human nature but also an eventful era in French history.
An addictive, thought provoking read. - By: , 27 Jul 1999
Balzac at his best. Through his writing you experience a rainbow of undesirable emotions & immoral passions with such insight that you feel tainted by your acquaintance with the characters through the book.Devastating/Funny/Sad/Insightful - anyone familiar & endeared to Balzac will easily be seduced by this book.
