"An imagination of the highest power, an unequalled intensity of vision. . . . What [Balzac] did above all was to read the universe, as hard and as loud as he could, into the France of his time." --Henry James, "An imagination of the highest power, an unequalled intensity of vision. . . . What [Balzac] did above all was to read the universe, as hard and as loud as he could, into the France of his time." --Henry James " The Lily in the Valley , with its focus on love rather than money, is something of an outlier among [Balzac's] books. It is also, at least in its depiction of its main character's wretched childhood, Balzac's most autobiographical novel.... Early 19th-century French society comes alive." --Heller McAlpin, The Wall Street Journal "It is a perplexing novel, and one that shows a side of Balzac not often seen.... Balzac took as his basis well-established tropes -- the forbidden romance, the love triangle of differing temperaments, the unhappily married woman, the young man on the rise -- and the epistolary novel form to create a pre-Freudian exploration of thwarted, repressed sexuality and deceit (of self and others)." --Eric Vanderwall, On the Seawall " The Lily in the Valley is an engaging and affecting story... an incisive study of the constrained realities of women's lives during the early 19th century, with the author showing his characteristic deep empathy for their plight, along with an ironic perception of masculine arrogance and complacency." --Rob Latham, Los Angeles Review of Books, "An imagination of the highest power, an unequalled intensity of vision. . . . What [Balzac] did above all was to read the universe, as hard and as loud as he could, into the France of his time." --Henry James " The Lily in the Valley , with its focus on love rather than money, is something of an outlier among [Balzac's] books.

Synopsis
A new translation of one of Balzac's finest novels, this tale of misguided passion centers on a young aristocrat who falls into a cloaked, coded entanglement with an older countess--a relationship that is upended when he becomes involved with a new lover. A story of impossible and unsatisfied desire, Balzac's The Lily in the Valley opens with a scene of desire unleashed. Fรฉlix de Vandenesse, the shy teenage scion of an aristocratic family, is at a ball, when his eyes are drawn to a beautiful woman in fashionable undress: before he knows what he is doing, he throws himself upon her, covering her bare back with kisses. In shock, she pushes him away. He leaves the party in shame. The woman at the party is Henriette de Mortsauf, married to a much older count. Time passes, and Fรฉlix is reintroduced to her. Nothing is said of what transpired, though nothing is forgotten, and a courtship begins whose premise is that Fรฉlix will worship Henriette without displaying the least sign of desire. He waits on her. He plays endless board games with her impossible husband. He develops a language of flowers and presents her with elaborately coded bouquets. Fรฉlix and Henriette are in a swoon, until he departs for Paris to pursue a career in politics and takes up with the uninhibited Arabella Dudley. Meanwhile Henriette is on her deathbed. She writes him, "Do you remember your kisses? They have dominated my life and furrowed my soul. . . . They are my death!" The Lily in the Valley is a terrible fairy tale of two people lost in a game of love--or is it? Peter Bush's new translation brings out the psychological dynamics of one of Balzac's masterpieces., A new translation of one of Balzac's finest novels, this tale of misguided passion centers on a young aristocrat who falls into a cloaked, coded entanglement with an older countess-a relationship that is upended when he becomes involved with a new lover.

Looking at the sellers overall feedback, the numerous negative feedback are mostly due to poor shipping practices. I don't appreciate the seller saying they are used and that I should expect this kind of damage.
