Overview
Albert Savarusby Honoré de BalzacTranslated by Clara BellAlbert Savarus is an 1842 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) and included in his series of novels (or Roman-fleuve) known as La Comédie humaine (The Human Comedy) which parodies and depicts French society in the period of the Restoration and the July Monarchy (1815-1848).In this short novel, Balzac takes us to Besançon in the Franche-Comté on the eastern edge of France. Located between Alsace-Lorraine and Savoy, the province shares a border with Switzerland.Like many of his locations outside the great wen of Paris, Besançon is conservative and a bit stick-in-the-mud. One of the leading families in town is that of the wealthy Baron de Watteville. A bit of a putterer, the Baron is married to a controlling wife and has a lovely daughter named Rosalie, around whom the action revolves.We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
