Béatrix edition by Honoré de Balzac Literature Fiction eBooks
Though I'm a dyed in the wool Balazcian, his second book, "Beatrix", was not particularly one of his best. However this book was THE first best seller that put him in the public eye during his time. The overtly parrallel character of Felicite to his friend George Sand was more than a little strange, and he even mentioned George Sand several times in the text. Balzac actually ended the book halfway in the first edition, larter appending an almost completely different story with mostly new characters to the first part. A lot of his writing came out in after thoughts like this, and he did the same thing in other novels, especially the "Lost Illusions" trilogy. However in "Beatrix", Balzac mentions in passing many names of the fictional characters which appear in his later novels. So that indicates he had already outlined the major characters of his Human Comedy by the time of his second book. As always, Balzac as the narrator offers occasional gems of wisdom is his observation of human behavior in the course of telling his story.Product details

Béatrix edition by Honoré de Balzac Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A French cousin recommended this book for summer reading due to its detailed descriptions of the area of France we both prefer.
It is colorful and an interesting view of the landscape and population of the salt marsh country near St Lazaire where your best sea salt is gathered but the story drags and describes people who seem to spend their time doing nothing of any significance. It is a common failing of 19th century novels in all western countries, I think. They flirt, they picnic, and they talk, talk, talk. The world is changing all around them and their gentile aristocratic culture is marching steadfastly towards a merciful extinction of which they are blissfully unaware. Makes me wonder where we are marching.
I suspect I should read it in French to appreciate his style but the subject is not terribly enlightening. I kept thinking, "Wake Up, People"!
