Cousin Betty - audiobook
Honoré de BALZAC (1799 - 1850), translated by Ellen MARRIAGE (1865 - 1946)
Cousin Betty (La Cousine Bette), published in serial format in 1846, was one of the last and greatest of Balzac’s works. It was part of his long novel collection titled La Comédie Humaine. Set in mid-19th-century France, it tells the story of a woman who resents her position as a “poor relation.“ As we follow her schemes to bring ruin upon the more privileged members of her family, we see a society in transition. The stability and idealism of the old order give way to a new bourgeois world in which virtue is strangled in the struggle for power and money. In this novel, Balzac searchingly probes the psychology and motivations of his characters: his work influenced the development of literary realism, as practised by writers such as Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Proust, and Henry James. - Summary by Bruce Pirie
