Adieu (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161420074)

Adieu is a novel written by the renowned French author Honore De Balzac. The story revolves around two main characters, Marie Gaston and Horace Bianchon. Marie is a young woman who is deeply in love with Horace, a doctor who is already married. Despite the obstacles in their way, Marie and Horace continue to meet in secret and carry on their affair. As the story progresses, the reader is taken on a journey through the emotional turmoil of the two main characters. Marie struggles with her love for Horace and the knowledge that their relationship can never be accepted by society. Horace, on the other hand, is torn between his love for Marie and his duty to his wife and family. Throughout the novel, Balzac explores themes of love, passion, and the complexities of human relationships. He also provides a vivid portrayal of French society during the early 19th century, highlighting the social norms and expectations that governed the lives of the characters. Adieu is a beautifully written novel that offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human heart. Balzac's masterful storytelling and vivid characterization make this a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.The village of Studzianka had been wholly taken to pieces and conveyed from the heights on which it stood to the plain. However forlorn and dangerous that refuge might be, its miseries and its perils only courted men who had lately seen nothing before them but the awful deserts of Russia. It was, in fact, a vast asylum which had an existence of twenty-four hours only.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
