Immerse yourself in 19th-century Paris with 'La prima Bette,' one of Honoré de Balzac's last great novels. This masterpiece weaves a dizzying chronicle of a family crisis within the framework of a detailed study of Parisian customs. Discover the story of Baron Hulot, consumed by his love affairs, and Cousin Bette, a poor relative consumed by resentment who plots the destruction of her family. Balzac weaves an atrocious and beautiful narrative, where pomp and misery, wife and lover, high politics and the underworld intertwine in the financial and passionate labyrinths of Paris.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
