Lily of the Valley Paperback - 1989

by Honore De Balzac; May Tomlinson (Translator)


From the publisher

Le Lys dans la Valle is an 1835 novel about love and society by French novelist and playwright Honor de Balzac. It concerns the affection - emotionally vibrant but never consummated - between Flix de Vandenesse and Henriette de Mortsauf.Honor de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comdie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.

First line

What unknown talent, fed with tears, will some day give us the most moving elegy; the portrayal of torments undergone in silence by souls whose still tender roots meet nothing but hard pebbles in the soil of home; whose first green shoots are torn by hate-filled hands, whose flowers are nipped by frost just as they open?
