«Un asunto tenebroso» is the political intrigue novel by Honoré de Balzac, in paperback (254 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1841, it is often cited as one of the first detective novels. Set in Restoration France, it combines an investigation with high political interests. Balzac blends human feelings and power machinations in a heterodox detective story, where fiction intertwines with History.
The novel belongs to La Comédie Humaine, where it occupies number 59 in the series. The original title of the work is Une ténébreuse affaire.
For readers of classic literature and detective fiction interested in the origins of the genre and in nineteenth-century France.
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.
