Albert Savarus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419105340)

""Albert Savarus"" is a novel by the French writer, Honore de Balzac. It tells the story of a young lawyer named Albert Savarus, who moves from Paris to a small town in eastern France to start a new life. There, he becomes involved in a complicated love triangle with two women: the beautiful but manipulative Countess Louise de Chaulieu, and the virtuous and intelligent Mademoiselle Claire de Bourgogne.As the story unfolds, Albert must navigate the treacherous waters of love, ambition, and social hierarchy in order to win the heart of the woman he truly loves. Along the way, he must also contend with the machinations of the Countess, who is determined to keep him under her control.Balzac's novel is a masterful exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which they are shaped by social and cultural forces. It is a richly detailed portrait of life in 19th century France, filled with vivid descriptions of the people, places, and customs of the time. At its heart, ""Albert Savarus"" is a powerful meditation on the nature of love and the sacrifices we make for those we care about.What an ideal being was this Albert--gloomy, unhappy, eloquent, laborious, as compared by Mademoiselle de Watteville to that chubby fat Count, bursting with health, paying compliments, and talking of the fashions in the very face of the splendor of the old counts of Rupt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
