Passionate and perceptive, the three short novels that make up Balzac's History of the Thirteen are concerned in part with the activities of a rich, powerful, sinister and unscrupulous secret society in nineteenth-century France. While the deeds of 'The Thirteen' remain frequently in the background, however, the individual novels are concerned with exploring various forms of desire. A tragic love story, Ferragus depicts a marriage destroyed by suspicion, revelation and misunderstanding. The Duchess de Langeais explores the anguish that results when a society coquette tries to seduce a heroic ex-soldier, while The Girl with the Golden Eyes offers a frank consideration of desire and sexuality. Together, these works provide a firm and fascinating foundation for Balzac's many later portrayals of Parisian life in his great novel-cycle The Human Comedy. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Honoré de Balzac
Honoré de Balzac (1799 – 1850) a fost unul dintre cei mai importanti autori francezi, cunoscut pentru cele peste 90 de romane si povestiri publicate în timpul sau. A fost născut la Tours, în Val de Loire, France, unde a crescut alături de cei patru frați și surori. Intr-o vârstă fragedă, a devenit interesat de literatură, atât de mult încât și-a lansat o serie de nuvele cu titluri precum "Rêveries du Promeneur Solitaire" și "La Comédie Humaine", care au căpătat succes după publicare.
