Book Excerpt: 
. . .Monsieur Julliard, the eldest son of the old merchant, who had married the only daughter of a rich farmer, set up a sudden, secret, and disinterested passion for Madame Tiphaine, that angel descended from the Parisian skies. The clever Melanie, too clever to involve herself with Julliard, but quite capable of keeping him in the condition of Amadis and making the most of his folly, advised him to start a journal, intending herself to play the part of Egeria. For the last two years, therefore, Julliard, possessed by his romantic passion, had published the said newspaper, called the "Bee-hive," which contained articles literary, archaeological, and medical, written in the family. The advertisements paid expenses. The subscriptions, two hundred in all, made the profits. Every now and then melancholy verses, totally incomprehensible in La Brie, appeared, addressed, "TO HER!!!" with three exclamation marks.

This is a very dark story. It has to be a 5-star for being so well done, but I can't say I enjoyed it. And I do wonder if Balzac knew any spinsters who weren't warped?

Sonunda gerçek hayatı yüzünüze vuran daha doğrusu her sayfasında gerçek hayatı yüzünüze vuran bir roman Pierrette. İnsanların mal mülk hırsının yanı sıra tanımlanması imkansız kıskançlıkları, aşırılılları ve acımasızlıkları ile dolu bir kitap. Çok gerçek, çok doğru ve çok yaşanmış gibi bir roman. Ba

Publicado em 1839, faz parte de série Os Celibatários e foi dedicado à filha de Eveline Hanska. Em 1830 Balzac estava envolvido na defesa de um amigo, o tabelião Peytel, acusado do assassinato de sua mulher e criado. Foi julgado culpado e teve sua cabeça cortada.
