Balzac's Classics: Aunt Bess (Set of 6 Volumes in Total)
About This Novel
This book is a classic novel by the great French critical realist writer Balzac, translated by Fu Lei. The protagonist Aunt Bet is a very special figure in Balzac's works. The novel is named after her, which shows that the writer attaches great importance to her. Readers who like Balzac's works should not miss this book. The story told in the work takes place in Paris in 1838 and revolves around the fate of Baron Hulot de Hervé and his family. The character of Baron Hulot carries many of Balzac's reflections on human nature in his later years. In addition to sharing the common features of other paranoid images in "The Human Comedy", his portrayal also has its own deep meaning, which is an important symbol of the author's critical realism creation reaching a new height. Balzac interspersed his wonderful narrative with unique views on family, marriage, the joy of men and women, and love, and gave strict definitions to these. The humorous and ironic language gives readers a pleasant surprise when they are eager to find out the ending and are immersed in the black atmosphere created by the story.
