The Girl With The Golden Eyes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169220102)

""The Girl With The Golden Eyes"" is a novel written by Honore De Balzac. It is a story of love, desire, and obsession set in the 19th century Paris. The book tells the story of a young, wealthy man named Henri de Marsay, who becomes infatuated with a mysterious woman known only as ""the girl with the golden eyes"". Despite her enigmatic nature and the warnings of his friends, Henri becomes obsessed with her and begins a dangerous game of seduction and manipulation to win her over. Along the way, he becomes embroiled in a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to destroy him. The novel explores themes of love, sexuality, power, and the corrupting influence of wealth and privilege. It is a classic work of French literature that continues to captivate readers with its vivid characters, intricate plot, and timeless themes.She belongs to that feminine variety which the Romans call fulva, flava--the woman of fire. And in chief, what struck me the most, what I am still taken with, are her two yellow eyes, like a tiger's, a golden yellow that gleams, living gold, gold which thinks, gold which loves, and is determined to take refuge in your pocket.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
