«Le Lys dans la vallée» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by Gallimard Education in paperback format (448 pages, in French).
Set in the Loire Valley, the novel unites landscape and feeling. A sick woman confesses to Félix that her agony has been not seeing him, while desire and absence mark a relationship of distance and memory. Balzac thus portrays the inner life of his characters and the rural French context of the nineteenth century.
Work included in La Comédie Humaine (position 65). Originally published in 1835. This edition includes the preface by Paul Morand and the edition by Anne-Marie Meininger.
For readers of classic French fiction and nineteenth-century realism, interested in psychological portraiture and stories of love and absence.
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.
