The Unknown Masterpiece by Honore De Balzac - 2008-02-15

Trade paperback edition published by New York Review Books Classics. This copy would appear to be an unread, unused copy. There are no creases to the cover or spine. It is not a remainder, not a library discard. No creases, no writing, no former ownership marks. There is a slight smudge mark on the edge of the text block, starting at page 9 - see the attached photos for more details on the condition. One of Balzac's most celebrated tales, this is the story of a painter who is either a transcendent genius, or abject failure. Published together with the short work, "Gambara". Translated by Richard Howard. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.
