Description
Honoré de Balzac is one of the greatest prose writers of the nineteenth century and a founder of realism.
“Frolicsome Tales” is a collection of novellas styled in the spirit of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The stories are based on old legends and tales, seasoned with a pinch of romantic passions and a portrayal of life in medieval France.
The collection is being published in full for the first time in Russian!
Love triangles. Affairs. Passions.
Vices storming virtue.
Amusing Cupid adventures…
A charming collection of novellas “Frolicsome Tales” is a sort of “answer” from the great realist writer to the romantics, with their reverence for the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and with deliberately tragic plots.
Playing on the field of romanticism, Balzac opens to the reader a completely different world of distant European past—cheerful, juicy, full-blooded, sensual, and love of life.
Editions of “Frolicsome Tales,” published during Soviet times, included only selected works. This book includes all stories from the cycle, including those that were not printed during Honoré de Balzac’s lifetime.
