The Firm of Nucingen - Paperback
by James Waring (Translator), Honoré de Balzac (Author)
This novella is a story told as a conversation between four "cormorants" (the metaphor is Balzac's) who sit and drink in a private room while their talk is overheard through the paper-thin partition and reported to us by Balzac himself (or a fictional representative of the writer). As in all of Balzac's tales of financial trickery, the machinations are incredibly involved and complex yet their effects are devastating...
Honoré de Balzac (20 May 1799 - 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie Humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
