About this listen

 La femme de trente ans évoque la condition féminine au travers du récit d'un mariage qui échoue. Julie de Chastillon est une jeune femme poussée trop vite dans le mariage et en quête permanente d'une rencontre amoureuse digne d'être vécue, elle devient adultère.
Entre les déceptions dans l'intimité conjugale et le devoir de garder les apparences en société, Balzac nous fait le récit parfaitement réaliste d'une jeune femme "à qui le mariage ne [...] réussit point". Il est le peintre des femmes et révèle dans un décor brutal, ce que certaines n'osent pas avouer.

Parue en 1842, La femme de trente ans appartient aux Scènes de la vie privée de La comédie humaine.©Domaine public (P)2012 Éditions Thélème Classics European World Literature

beautifully read

The language is old fashioned and beautiful. It's quite romantic but that's no surprise, considering the period in which it was written. The reader is brilliant and truly brought the novel to life.

My Last Balzac

Excellent narrator but tired of depressing stories where we get to witness the fall of he main character, after she entered in a relationship against the advice of a loving father, doomed from the beginning.
