This entry in the "Scenes from Private Life" felt a bit more rambling than the others I have read so far. There certainly was extended discussion about what makes a woman a "lady" but also some reminiscences about times during the Napoleonic Wars and musings about the nature of society entertainments. Since my Kindle omnibus edition of "The Works of Balzac" doesn't have page numbers, I am using those of the Createspace paperback edition but note here that it felt longer than 48 pages to me. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Another Study of Woman is a narrative hovering between a short story and a novella in terms of length, extracted from Honore de Balzac's multi-volume masterpiece The Human Comedy. At a private dinner party, guests warmed by the flush of fine food and drink begin to banter about the qualities and attributes that characterize the ideal woman. Gradually, the guests begin to reminisce about their own experiences and encounters with perfect and not-so-perfect women. Throughout the entertaining back-and-forth, Balzac presents a number of keen insights about the social mores governing women's behavior in nineteenth-century Europe. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
