Colonel Chabert | Honor de Balzac
post image
Pickpick

I‘ve never read Balzac, and now is as good a time as any. This was only nine issues on @SerialReader and quite good. Colonel Chabert was thought to have died in battle, so when he shows up years later to find his wife has liquidated all his assets and remarried, trouble ensues. There‘s a lot wrapped up in this little novella.

BarbaraBB I am amazed that you turn to Balzac to get out of your reading slump but I am so glad if it does the job 😂😘 5y
Reviewsbylola Well tbf I started it last weekend before my slump really kicked in, plus it seems a bit easier to pick up serials in a sump because it‘s already divided up for you so your obligation is low. 😂 @BarbaraBB 5y

Well, you know you are the first to read 100-year-old book when you have to cut the pages...📖🤓❤️

Leftcoastzen That is a magical weird feeling.I get slightly annoyed that nobody read it.😀 6y
jveezer @Leftcoastzen I feel bad for the book. But now it is getting some love! Also, I kinda like cutting pages, although you are probably not supposed to use a kitchen knife. 6y

18 years ago my set of Balzac that was a gift from my beloved mother-in-law was “disappeared” by her daughter in our divorce. On a bookstore-crawl with @lalatiburona last week I finally found a replacement set. RIP Adams Avenue Books in San Diego but thanks for the sweet deal!

lalatiburona If I ever do get married, my books are getting a pre-nup😂 6y

For the pleasure, an excerpt of a rare beauty:
"When children start to see, they smile; when a young girl glimpses the feeling in nature, she smiles as she smiled as a child. If light is the first love of life, isn‘t love the light of the heart?" #Balzac #eugeniegrandet by #HonoredeBalzac
