Synopsis
«On ne marie pas aujourd'hui, sans dot, une fille aussi belle que l'est mademoiselle Hortense, reprit Crevel. C'est comme un cheval de luxe qui exige trop de soins coûteux pour avoir beaucoup d'acquéreurs. Vous ne pouvez, dans la situation où vous êtes, marier votre fille que de trois manières : par mon secours, vous n'en voulez pas ! et d'un ; en trouvant un vieillard de soixante ans, très riche, sans enfants, et qui voudrait en avoir, c'est difficile, mais cela se rencontre. Et de deux ! La dernière manière est la plus facile...»Tie In

From the Inside Flap
"Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying," wrote V. S. Pritchett. A late masterpiece in Balzac's "La Comedie Humaine, Cousin Bette is the story of a Vosges peasant who rebels against her scornful upper-class relatives, skillfully turning their selfish obsessions against them. The novel exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac's "huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality."
From the Back Cover
“Raine’s translations restore Balzac to his passionate and efficient outrage upon the expectations of fiction. This best of his novels is worthy to be ‘ours’—and now it is.” —Richard Howard
