About this book
Short comic sketches of marriage, in two parts, make up Balzac's Petty Troubles of Married Life. A preface walks through a courtship, with parents weighing fortunes and two notaries drawing up the contract, before the small vexations begin. Caroline and her husband Adolphe stand for any young couple. Titles such as The Matrimonial Gadfly, A Household Revolution and The Art of Being a Victim show the range. Balzac wrote it in French as Petites misères de la vie conjugale.
