{"product_id":"ursula-ursule-mirouet-honore-de-balzac-9781595690531","title":"Ursula (Ursule Mirouet)","description":"\"Ursula\" (original French title \"Ursule Mirouet,\" 1842) forms one part of \"Scenes from Provincial Life,\" a series of novels-whose other major work is \"Eugenie Grandet\"-examining manners and morals in the French provinces. --- Among all the novels of Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), none depicts so penetratingly the small-mindedness, avarice, and envy of the provincial lower middle classes. In \"Ursula\", no limitations based on morality or decency will hold these people back in their effort to acquire wealth and influence. --- Along with Stendhal, Balzac is the most important French novelist of the first half of the nineteenth century, and a founder of the realistic novel in Europe. His principal work is the unfinished cycle \"The Human Comedy\" (French: \"La Comedie Humaine,\" which includes \"Scenes from Provincial Life\"), in which he attempted, in more than 80 volumes, to depict the society of his time in its entirety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Honore De Balzac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595690530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595690531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MONDIAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Honore De Balzac","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896860238079,"sku":"9781595690531","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d52a0e7f-3ebf-460d-8612-24d329d0eee8.jpg?v=1721372518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ursula-ursule-mirouet-honore-de-balzac-9781595690531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
