Publisher Description
Una bellísima cortesana, casi adolescente y enamorada, un poeta-vividor, también enamorado, y un ex convicto serán los personajes centrales de esta novela que, aunque escrita con estilo irregular, corrobora una vez más el genio creativo del autor -aglutinador de psicologías y entornos sociales-, capaz de captar la complejidad universal, pasada y presente, de la condición humana. Si bien la novela se inicia en un baile de máscaras de la ópera, donde se dan cita intelectuales, artistas y personalidades parisienses de las clases dominantes en el siglo XIX, el escenario geográfico de la narración y sus intrigas se mueve en el Paris elegante y sus alrededores.

About Honoré de Balzac
Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) was born in Tours, France, educated at the Collège de Vendôme, and studied law at the Sorbonne. His father wished him to become a lawyer, but he left Tours in 1819 to seek his fortune as an author in Paris. He wrote eighty-five novels in twenty years, but his life was one of frequent privation. In 1850, he married Countess Hanska, a rich Polish lady with whom he had corresponded for more than fifteen years. Five months later, Balzac died in Paris.
