History of the Thirteen

This trilogy of stories — Ferragus: Chief of the Companions of Duty, The Duchesse De Langeais, and The Girl with the Golden Eyes — purporting to be the history of a secret society, laid the foundation for Balzac’s Scenes of Parisian Life and is a stunning evocation of all ranks of society.
