«La Rabouilleuse» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac published by P.O.L. in 1992 in paperback, in French, preceded by «Lignées balzaciennes» by Éric Rohmer.
Set in nineteenth-century France, the novel follows the Bridau brothers: the elder, a former aide-de-camp to Napoleon with no prospects, and the younger, a directionless artist, as they struggle to recover the family inheritance in a world where having no money means having no power. Ambition, decadence and the social dynamics of Balzacian realism run through the narrative.
It belongs to The Human Comedy, Balzac's narrative cycle, and is part of the «la Collection» series from P.O.L.
Of interest to scholars of realist literature and to readers of Balzac, with nineteenth-century France as the setting.
