Honore De Balzac ranks among the best
writers in France, holding distinct and
high place in French fiction. His works
show great knowledge of the human heart
and cover a wide range of knowledge. Bal
zac paints life in fate, deep and true to ma
ture. He is often dull, but always surrounds
that dullness with charm and interest so
that it becomes lost The translations of his
works are excellent and give us the author
as he is in French as nearly can be done
in translation He is realistic to an intense
degree of actors and scenery. Eugene
Grandet'' is one of the latest translations.
