5.0 out of 5 stars An addictive, thought provoking read., 27 July 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cousin Bette (Paperback)

Balzac at his best. Through his writing you experience a rainbow of undesirable emotions and immoral passions with such insight that you feel tainted by your acquaintance with the characters through the book.Devastating/Funny/Sad/Insightful - anyone familiar and endeared to Balzac will easily be seduced by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars most interesting characters with different passions, 9 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cousin Bette: Poor Relations Pt. 1 (Classics) (Paperback)

This is an amazing book for those who are interested in daily life bothers of people with remarkable passions. The interesting figures of the novel:a husband who loves his caring and self-denying wife but cannot resist his passion towards a coldhearted beauty, a cousin who enjoys the pains of her "protecting" relatives and a number of other figures from different spheres of society with varying ambitions. You will enjoy this great book and learn more about not only human nature but also an eventful era in French history.
