""The Letters of Honore de Balzac to Madame Hanska"" is a collection of personal correspondence between the French novelist Honore de Balzac and his beloved, the Polish countess Evelina Hanska. The letters were written over a period of 18 years, from 1832 to 1850, and reveal the intense and passionate relationship between the two. Balzac's letters are filled with declarations of love, descriptions of his work and struggles as a writer, and discussions of politics, literature, and society. Madame Hanska's responses offer insight into her own thoughts and feelings, as well as her life as a wealthy aristocrat. The letters provide a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of two prominent figures of the 19th century, and the enduring love story that developed between them. This edition of the letters was translated into English by Katharine Prescott Wormeley and was first published in 1900.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
