Balzac Honore: 591 books

Set in Paris, Cousin Bette tells the story of an unmarried middle-aged woman who plots the destruction of her extended family.  As in many of Balzac’s novels, its characters represent polarities of contrasting morality.

Balzac’ın tek amacı resmetmek, en azından aslına uygun portreler çizmek değildi. Kitapları güzel fikirlerin, deyim yerindeyse güzel resim fikirlerinin sonucuydu. Çoğu kez bir sanatı bir başka sanatın kalıplarıyla kavramlaştırırdı. Bu resimsel düşünce yüce bir düşünceydi....
