About this book
Balzac opens this short Parisian sketch with a street before any person: the Rue Duguay-Trouin near the Luxembourg, which in 1827 was neither paved nor lit and ran over a weak stretch of ground by the Catacombs. Its eight chapters run from the street's physiognomy and the silhouette of its inhabitant to Madame Adolphe, three courses of a meal, and the unhappiness of a scholar's wife. It first appeared in the Paris newspaper Le Siècle on 28 July 1845. Henri Pène du Bois translated it in 1900.
