Paperback. Condición: Fair. Mild, harmless and ugly to behold, the impoverished Pons is an ageing musician whose brief fame has fallen to nothing. Living a placid Parisian life as a bachelor in a shared apartment with his friend Schmucke, he maintains only two passions: a devotion to fine dining in the company of wealthy but disdainful relatives, and a dedication to the collection of antiques. When these relatives become aware of the true value of his art collection, however, their sneering contempt for the parasitic Pons rapidly falls away as they struggle to obtain a piece of the weakening man's inheritance. Taking its place in the Human Comedy as a companion to Cousin Bette, the darkly humorous Cousin Pons is among of the last and greatest of Balzac's novels concerning French urban society: a cynical, pessimistic but never despairing consideration of human nature.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Poor, plain spinster Bette is compelled to survive on the condescending patronage of her socially superior relatives in Paris: her beautiful, saintly cousin Adeline, the philandering Baron Hulot and their daughter Hortense. Already deeply resentful of their wealth, when Bette learns that the man she is in love with plans to marry Hortense, she becomes consumed by the desire to exact her revenge and dedicates herself to the destruction of the Hulot family, plotting their ruin with patient, silent malice. Cousin Bette is a gripping tale of violent jealousy, sexual passion and treachery, and a brilliant portrayal of the grasping, bourgeois society of 1840s Paris. The culmination of the Comedie humaine, Balzac's epic chronicle of his times, it is one of his greatest triumphs as a novelist.…

The story follows the life of Amory Blaine, a young man from a wealthy family who is trying to find his place in the world. The novel is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different stage of Amory's life. In the first part, Amory is a student at Princeton University, where he is popular but struggles to find his true identity. He falls in love with a girl named Rosalind, but their relationship is complicated by their different backgrounds and personalities. In the second part, Amory moves to New York City and begins a career in advertising. He becomes involved with a group of intellectuals and artists, but he still feels lost and uncertain about his future. In the third part, Amory travels to Europe and has a series of romantic and existential experiences. He eventually realizes that he needs to find his own path in life, rather than trying to conform to the expectations of others. This Side of Paradise is a deeply personal and autobiographical novel that explores themes of love, identity, and the search for meaning. It is considered a classic of American literature and helped to establish Fitzgerald as one of the leading writers of the early 20th century.1920. Fitzgerald is considered one of the most gifted serious writers of his generation. He became known for his novels and stories of the 1920s; he called it the Jazz Age and described it as a new generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken. This Side of Paradise is a description of life at Princeton among the glittering, bored, and disillusioned post-World War I lost generation, and is the novel that rocketed Fitzgerald to stardom.
