Opis

Excerpt from La Grande Bretęche: And Other Stories The story which used to come first, La Paix da Me/nage, is scarcely worthy of precedence, save as eldest. It belongs to the time when Balzac, though he had found his way, was not yet walking surely in it 5 and besides, it belongs to a class of work which, though he continued to practise in it almost to the end, never was his happiest class. The attraction which these stories of family broils and rearrangements in 'high life' had for Balzac must always be rather inexplicable, except to those who are complaisant enough to allow him the knowledge of that high life which, though constantly contested by some of the best authorities, though more than dubious to im partial critics, is a sort of religion to extreme Balzacians. In this particular case, too, the intrigue is of scanty interest, and requires a lighter and more airy handling than Balzac could often - perhaps than he could ever - give. The fact is that he was too conscientious for this sort of thing, which in the hands of Gyp would have been as thoroughly at home as it is out of place in his.
