Droll Stories V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162660547)

Droll Stories V2 is a collection of humorous short stories written by the French author Honore De Balzac. This book is the second volume of a two-part series and contains a total of 24 stories. Each story is unique and offers a satirical commentary on French society during the 19th century. Some stories are based on real-life events, while others are entirely fictional. The characters in the stories are diverse, ranging from peasants to aristocrats, and their misadventures are often comical. The stories cover a range of topics, including love, marriage, politics, and religion. The writing style is witty and engaging, with Balzac's trademark use of irony and sarcasm. This book is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys classic literature and appreciates a good laugh.Then by us have these words been said to her: ""My daughter, you are vehemently suspected to have had recourse to the devil from the manner in which you left the convent, which was supernatural in every way."" By her who speaks has it been stated, that she at that time gained naturally the fields by the street door after vespers, enveloped in the robes of Jehan de Marsilis, visitor of the convent, who had hidden her, the person speaking, in a little hovel belonging to him, situated in the Cupidon Lane, near a tower in the town.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
