Tout est là. L'histoire de cette jeune femme qui a épousé étourdiment son bellâtre très fort sur l'équitation est l'histoire implacable des déceptions de la vie conjugale des déceptions de l'intimité conjugale. En dépit du décor tout est brutal. C'est une confession de jeune mariée. Tout est admirable : la nullité du mari soutenu en secret le dévouement pour garder les apparences sans les compensations de l'amour et au fond de tout cela l'égoïsme de l'homme une existence vide à perpétuité entrevue avec désespoir. La répugnance pour l'intimité conjugale est le secret de toute cette vie. La douairière ne s'y méprend pas. Le mariage ne vous réussit point. C'est l'histoire d'un mauvais départ. A partir de ce livre Balzac est devenu le peintre des femmes non pas seulement le peintre de la femme de trente ans mais l'écrivain qui sait dire ce qu'elles n'osent pas s'avouer.</p> French & European Pubns hardcover
