Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright, most famous for his collection of novels and plays, collectively called 'The Human Comedy'. His detailed observation of humanity and realistic depiction of society makes him one of the earliest representatives of realism in Europe. He was a master-creator of complex characters that often found themselves in ambiguous moral dilemmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Princess of Cleves and the Sanseverina, the Duchess of Langeais is one of the great female deities of our literature. It combines in her person the triple prestige of beauty, birth and misfortune. Born of illustrious blood, Antoinette de Navarreins was born in 1794, under the Terror, a very dark star that would be for her the mark of fate. Some twenty years later, separated from her abhorred husband imposed on her by an indifferent father, he was one of the worldly glories of the Faubourg Saint-Germain. But what is behind the icy coquetry of this aristocratic Celimene? And by what strange spell will Armand de Montriveau's incandescent passion in turn consume it?Like any true masterpiece, this "black novel" - originally entitled "Don't touch the axe" - is in part a sublimated autobiography, in other words the opposite of a key novel. "Only I know what's horrible about The Duchess of Langeais," Balzac told one of his relatives.This is why the work has kept its mystery and seductive power for more than a century and a half.
