Informação Sobre a ObraA Harlot High and Low por Honoré de Balzac (Author) (1847)
  
  PDSS | Oct 31, 2023 |  "A Harlot" is markedly different from the novel placed as it's predecessor, "Lost Illusions". This novel is not really a romance or a story of ambition. It is a lengthy presentation of multiple machinations involving Parisian society, infamous criminals, and instruments of the French state. Following these intricate plots and counter-plots is a task in itself. What saves the novel and continues its appeal are Balzac's skill as a writer, his knowledge of his subject, and his intellect. Some characters seem, at times, to be somewhat stereotypical, flat, and labile. However, the exploration of the central character, Vautrin, aka, Father Carlos Herrera is intriguing. Provided one can get past the to-be-expected sexism typical of the historical setting, "The Harlot" is worthwhile (but not easy) read.

35 livres cultes à lire au moins une fois dans sa vie Quels sont les romans qu'il faut avoir lu absolument ? Un livre culte qui transcende, fait réfléchir, frissonner, rire ou pleurer… La littérature est indéniablement créatrice d’émotions. Si vous êtes adeptes des classiques, ces titres devraient vous plaire. De temps en temps, il n'y a vraiment rien de mieux que de se poser devant un bon bouquin, et d'oublier un instant le monde réel. Mais si vous êtes une grosse lectrice ou un gros lecteur, et que vous avez épuisé le stock de votre bibliothèque personnelle, laissez-vous tenter par ces quelques classiques de la littérature.  One of Balzac's best novels. The book was concerned as much with secret police as with the prostitutes who passed through its pages, but then whores and political agents made a fair association for Balzac. The harlot, after all, inhabited the world of as if. You paid your money and the harlot acted for a little while -- when she was a good harlot -- as if she loved you, and that was a more mysterious proposition than one would think, for it is always mysterious to play a role. It is equal in a sense to living under cover. At her best, the harlot was a different embodiment of a fantasy for each client, and at those moments of existence most intense for herself, the role she assumed became more real than the reality of her profession.
