Аннотация

"Another Study of Woman" is a narrative hovering between a short story and a novella in terms of length, extracted from Honore de Balzac's multi-volume masterpiece The Human Comedy. At a private dinner party, guests warmed by the flush of fine food and drink begin to banter about the qualities and attributes that characterize the ideal woman. Gradually, the guests begin to reminisce about their own experiences and encounters with perfect and not-so-perfect women. Throughout the entertaining back-and-forth, Balzac presents a number of keen insights about the social mores governing women's behavior in nineteenth-century Europe.

Аннотация

Bei dieser Erzählung aus dem Jahre 1841 handelt es um die tragische Geschichte eines Mannes, der in aufopfernde und uneigennützige Liebe zu seinem Freund, seine eigenes Glück hintenanstellt. Er verheimlicht seine eigene unsterbliche Liebe zur Ehefrau seines Freundes.

Аннотация

Wir erleben den großen Romancier von einer ganz anderen Seite, als Analytiker der französischen Ehefrau. Zugegeben, keine allzu leichte Kost für die Leser und insbesondere die Leserinnen. Die Frau, die bei dem Titel dieses Buches in Versuchung gerät, es aufzuschlagen, kann darauf verzichten, sie hat es bereits gelesen, ohne es zu wissen. Ein Mann, so bösartig er auch sein mag, wird nie so viel Gutes oder Schlechtes über Frauen sagen, wie sie selbst denken. Wenn eine Frau trotz dieses Ratschlages darauf besteht, das Werk zu lesen, muss sie sich aus Feingefühl das Gesetz auferlegen, den Autor nicht zu verunglimpfen. Geschrieben 1842.
