About The Author
Marion Crawford
Balzac was born in 1799, the son of a civil servant. At the age of thirty - heavily in debt and with an unsucessful past behind him - he started work on the first of what were to become a total of ninety novels and short stories that make up The Human Comedy. He died in 1850.
M. A. Crawford has translated many of Balzac’s novels for the Penguin Classics.
