Product Details

Droll Stories by Honoré de Balzac is a bold and slightly daring collection of tales packed with scandal, seduction, and clever deception. Set in medieval France, these stories dive into secret romances, playful betrayals, and the often humorous (and sometimes outrageous) side of love and desire. Balzac doesn’t hold back—these tales are filled with flirtation, trickery, and risqué situations that push the boundaries of polite society. Told in a lively, old-world style, the stories feel like whispered gossip from centuries past, full of passion, wit, and just enough scandal to keep things interesting. This Edition was published by Random House in the 1940s. It is in good condition. Very clean inside and out. Tight hinges. No writing or foxing inside.
