The Chouans a Passion in the Desert, the Gondreville Mystery, the Muse of the Department (Classic Reprint) indir kitap bedava

Balzac reprinted Les Chouans as a part of the Comedie Humaine, he spoke of it in the dedication to his old friend M. Theodore Dablin as perhaps better than its reputation. He probably referred to the long time which had passed without a fresh demand for it; for, as has been pointed out in the General Introduction to thisS eries of translations, it first made his fame, and with it he first emerged from the purgatory of anonymous hack-writing. It would therefore have argued a little ingratitude in him had he shown himself dissatisfied with the original reception. The book, however, has, it may be allowed, never ranked among the special favorites of Balzacians; and though it was considerably altered and improved from its first form, it has certain defects which are not likely to escape any reader. In it Balzac was still trying the adventure-novel, the novel of incident; and though he here substitutes a nobler modelS cott, for whom he always had a reverence as intelligent as it was generous for theE adcliffian or Lewisian ideals of his nonage, he was still not quite at home. Some direct personal knowledge or experience of the matters he wrote about was always more or less necessary to him; and the enthusiasm with which he afterwards acknowledged, in a letter to Beyle, the presence of such knowledge in that writers military passages, confesses his own sense of inferiority.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
