Description
Before starting to put his name on the title page, Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) published many works under pseudonyms or without a signature at all. Later works of the author’s “Human Comedy” overshadowed his early prose; yet many features of the later manner were already present in these first attempts. Such is “The Code of Decent People” (1825)—an ironic treatise on how “not to fall for the hook of scammers.” Not only was it written brilliantly and with wit, like the mature Balzac’s works, but many of the recommendations the author offers to readers who lived nearly two centuries ago still hold true today—because we are just as trusting as ever, and scammers remain slippery and inventive. In Russian, the book is published for the first time.
