Book Description
Excerpt from Droll Stories (Contes Drolatiques), Vol. 1: Collected From the Abbeys of Touraine Again, the brutal frankness of the English language does not lend itself kindly to those nice shades and subtleties which above all others is so characteristically beautiful in that of the French. Indecency is always vulgar, and where in these pages vulgarity may be traced it must be ascribed not to the author but to the tawdry clothes in which he is draped. The second volume of Droll Stories, in addition to the prologues and epilogues, of which originally they formed part, will also contain Sarrasine, La Fille aux Yeux d'or (the Girl with Golden Eyes), and Une Passion dans le désert (a Passion in the Desert), three of de Balzac's most powerful works, but too inconvenient for general reading.
