Ten new titles in the colourful, small-format, portable new Pocket Penguins series.
Balzac was born in 1799, the son of a civil servant. At the age of
thirty - heavily in debt and with an unsucessful past behind him -
he started work on the first of what were to become a total of
ninety novels and short stories that make up The Human Comedy. He
died in 1850.
M. A. Crawford has translated many of Balzac's novels for the
Penguin Classics
