Publisher's Synopsis

The Red Inn is a novel written by the renowned French author Honore De Balzac. The book is set in a remote inn located in a small village in Brittany, France. The story revolves around three travelers who seek refuge in the inn during a stormy night. The three travelers are a wealthy businessman, a young artist, and a Polish soldier. As the night progresses, the travelers share their stories with each other, and the innkeeper tells them about the dark history of the inn. The inn has a reputation for being haunted, and the travelers soon realize that they are not alone in the inn. The novel explores themes of greed, jealousy, and revenge, and the characters are forced to confront their deepest fears and desires. The Red Inn is a suspenseful and gripping novel that takes the reader on a journey through the dark and mysterious world of the inn, and it is considered one of Balzac's most haunting works.When I had long examined that puzzling face I began to reflect about it. ""Is he ill?"" I said to myself. ""Has he drunk too much wine? Is he ruined by a drop in the Funds? Is he thinking how to cheat his creditors?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
