Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenie Grandet, And, Ursule Mirouet: And Other Stories It is also difficult to make too much allowance for the fatal effect of an education under an insignificant if amiable mother and a tyrannical father, and of a confinement to an excessively small circle of extremely provincial society, on a disposition of more nobility than intellectual height or range. Still it must, I think, be permitted to the advocatus diaboli to urge that Eugenie's martyrdom is almost too thorough; that though complete, it is not, as Gautier said of his own ill luck, artistement complet that though it may be difficult to put the finger on any special blot, to say, Here the girl should have revolted, or Here she would have behaved in some other way differently still there is a vague sense of incomplete lifelikeness - of that tendency to mirage and ex aggeration which has been, and will be, so often noticed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenie Grandet, And, Ursule Mirouet: And Other Stories N such is, of course, quite excellent. She is not stupid, as her kind are supposed to be; she is only blindly faithful, as well as thoroughly good-hearted. Nor is the unfortunate Madame Grandet an idiot, nor are any of the comparses mere dummies. But naturally they all, even Eugenie herself to some extent, serve mainly as sets-off to the terrible Grandet. In him Balzac, a Frenchman of Frenchmen, has boldly de )icted perhaps the worst and the commonest vice of the French character, the vice which is more common, and certam worse than either the frivolity or the license with which the nation is usually charged - the pushing, to wit, of thrift to the loathsome excess of an inhuman avarice. But he has jus tified himself to his country by communicating to his hero an unquestioned grandeur. The mirage works again, but it works with splendid effect. One need not be a sentimentalist to shudder a little at the ta ta ta to of Grandet, the refrain of a money-grabbing which almost escapes greediness by its diabolical extravagance and success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the disasters of the revolution of July, which destroyed so many aristocratic fortunes dependent on the court, Madame la Princesse de Cadignan was clever enough to attribute to political events the total ruin she had caused by her own extravagance. The prince left France with the royal family, and never returned to it, leaving the princess in Paris, protected by the fact of his absence; for their debts, which the sale of all their salable property had not been able to extinguish, could only be recovered through him. The revenues of the entailed estates had been seized. In short, the affairs of this great family were in as bad a state as those of the elder branch of the Bourbons. This woman, so celebrated under her first name of Duchesse de Maufrigneuse, very wisely decided to live in retirement, and to make herself, if possible, forgotten. Paris was then so carried away by the whirling current of events that the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse, buried in the Princesse de Cadignan, a change of name unknown to most of the new actors brought upon the stage of society by the revolution of July, did really become a stranger in her own city. In Paris the title of duke ranks all others, even that of prince; though, in heraldic theory, free of all sophism, titles signify nothing; there is absolute equality among gentlemen. This fine equality was formerly maintained by the House of France itself; and in our day it is so still, at least, nominally; witness the care with which the kings of France give to their sons the simple title of count. It was in virtue of this system that Francois I. crushed the splendid titles assumed by the pompous Charles the Fifth, by signing his answer: "Francois, seigneur de Vanves." Louis XI. did better still by marrying his daughter to an untitled gentleman, Pierre de Beaujeu. The feudal system was so thoroughly broken up by Louis XIV. that the title of duke became, during his reign, the supreme honor of the aristocracy, and the most coveted.
