Publisher's Synopsis
In the middle of the 19th century, the great French writer, Honor? de Balzac (1799-1850), set out to write a fictional compendium of every aspect of humankind. An Evening at the Beach is a 21st century attempt to repeat the exercise "in 30 minutes", "for beginners", "for Dummies", or whatever the most modern phrase is. In brief, it is a lot shorter.
