L’Illustre Gaudissart
by Honore de Balzac, edited by Bernard Guyon
These two short stories analyze the complex relationship between the capital and the provinces. L’Illustre Gaudissart presents the foray of a Parisian braggart into the Touraine region, while La Muse du departement describes the literary and amorous disillusionments of a “noble woman” on confronting the corruption of Paris.
