Cousin Pons: Part Two of 'Poor Relations'

Autor Honoré de Balzac
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mai 1978
Pons is an ageing musician, and believes that fame has fallen to nothing. Living with his friend, he maintains only two passions: a devotion to fine dining in the company relatives, and a dedication to the collection of antiques. This novel concerns French urban society: a cynical, pessimistic but never despairing consideration of human nature.

Notă biografică

Balzac was born in 1799, the son of a civil servant. At the age of thirty - heavily in debt and with an unsucessful past behind him - he started work on the first of what were to become a total of ninety novels and short stories that make up The Human Comedy. He died in 1850.

Translated and introduced by Herbert J. Hunt
