Book Description

The two classic French texts by Honore de Balzac, are released together for the first time in this French language edition by the Chatterley Press International imprint, "La Collection Francaise de CPI."

In "Le Colonel Chabert" a man returns from the dead, much to the shock and dismay of his designing wife, the self- serving Rosine.

In "La Femme Abandonnee" France's most infamous coffee-drinker reintroduces us to the beautiful Madame de Beauseant, a character featured in Balzac's classic "Le Pere Goriot." Only this time, she is the center of Balzac's loving gaze, for never has the story of a married woman and her lover been told with such heartfelt conviction and tenderness.
