Publisher's Synopsis
Wann-Chlore V1-2 (1825) is a novel written by the French author Honore De Balzac. The story is set in the early 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Wann-Chlore, who is of mixed race and lives in Martinique. She is beautiful and intelligent, but is also the subject of ridicule and discrimination due to her ethnicity. Wann-Chlore is determined to overcome these obstacles and make a better life for herself. She moves to Paris, where she meets a wealthy and influential man named Monsieur de Rouville. He becomes enamored with her and offers to help her achieve her dreams. As Wann-Chlore rises in society, she faces new challenges and struggles to maintain her sense of self. She must navigate the treacherous waters of Parisian high society and deal with the jealousy and resentment of those around her. Throughout the novel, Balzac explores themes of race, class, and identity, as well as the corrupting influence of power and wealth. Wann-Chlore V1-2 is a gripping tale of ambition, love, and betrayal that offers a vivid portrait of life in 19th century France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
