ISBN: 9781433112812 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Preserving the Provinces; Small Town and Countryside in the Work of Honoré de Balzac
ISBN: 9783039105830 / Angielski / Miękka / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though famed for his vivid depictions of nineteenth-century Paris, Honore de Balzac devoted as much of his creative energy to the provinces.

Ranging widely over texts from both within and outside La Comedie humaine, the author analyses Balzac s determination to invest the Rousseauist nostalgia for country over city with an updated rationale. A champion of central authority and absolutist government,...
