Publisher's Synopsis

""Paz"" is a novel by French author Honore De Balzac. The story revolves around two main characters, Paz and Philippe. Paz is a young Spanish dancer who falls in love with Philippe, a wealthy Frenchman. Despite their different backgrounds and social status, they embark on a passionate love affair. However, their relationship is threatened by the interference of Philippe's family, who disapprove of their union. As the story progresses, Paz and Philippe face numerous challenges and obstacles, including jealousy, betrayal, and societal pressure. Ultimately, they must decide whether their love is strong enough to overcome these obstacles or whether they must part ways. Through the characters of Paz and Philippe, Balzac explores themes of love, class, and the human condition. ""Paz"" is a captivating and emotional novel that offers a poignant commentary on the complexities of romantic relationships and societal expectations.Paz was leading so subterranean a life that the fashionable world of Paris asked who he was when the Comtesse Laginska was seen in the Bois de Boulogne riding between her husband and a stranger. During the ride Clementine insisted that Thaddeus should dine with them. This caprice of the sovereign lady compelled Paz to make an evening toilet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
