Produktbeschreibung
A brief, piercing account of a city under siege from within and without. An Episode Under The Terror invites readers to walk the narrow lanes of Paris during the revolution, where fear and courage coexist, and where private conscience weighs against public fate. Balzac's historical novella offers a tight, vivid portrait of revolution era politics and the terror period struggles that shaped a generation. Through a careful, character-driven lens, the tale navigates moral dilemmas that feel immediate and timeless, weaving together the texture of 19th century literature with brisk narrative momentum. It's a work that rewards both the discerning student of classic literature and the casual reader seeking a compact, well-crafted historical fiction short. Historically significant as part of the Balzac canon and a bridge to later literary movements, the story stands alongside stendhal's style in its social observation and psychological acuity. It is a piece that illuminates france during revolution and the pressures that press upon everyday life, making it a rich touchstone for readers exploring literature, history, and politics in dialogue. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it will appeal to for literature students, for classic readers, and to anyone curious about Paris under terror and the enduring tensions of personal duty. balzac and stendhal meet in a compact, powerful historical novella.
