Шагреневая кожа. Кузина Бетта
В историю литературы Оноре де Бальзак вошел как создатель единственной в своем роде художественной энциклопедии жизни Франции XIX века. "Человеческая комедия" охватила все стороны "сцены" театра жизни. Наиболее значительным и ярким произведением в эпопее является роман "Шагреневая кожа". Его герой, Рафаэль де Валантен, стал обладателем могущественного талисмана и должен сделать выбор - жить полнокровно, но кратко, или длить долгую череду дней серого однообразного существования.

В этом сборнике два романа "Кузина Бетта" и "Шагреневая кожа". Меня пока хватило только на первый роман. Читать эго было не нелегко. Несмотря на то, что история сама мне нравилась, я несколько раз почти забросила ету книгу. Весь роман написан одной большой главой, все 400+ страницы. Для меня это очень тяжело, я люблю когда есть главы (большие или маленькие, не важно), но есть возможность перевести дух.
