Une Fille D'Eve (A Daughter of Eve) [French English Bilingual Edition] - Paragraph-by-Paragraph Translation
Un Fille d'Eve (A Daughter of Eve) is a 1838 novel which belongs to the Scenes from Private Life (Scènes de la Vie Privée) subseries of La Comédie Humaine.
Ferdinand du Tillet, one of the richest bankers in Paris but a man of no family, married the much younger Marie-Eugenie de Granville, daughter of a peer of France. Du Tillet is unscrupulous in both his business and his private life.
Marie-Eugenie's sister is Angelique-Marie de Granville, now Madame de Vandenesse. Angelique-Marie is rather fearfully in awe of her husband due to his past but takes notice of the writer Raoul Nathan. Nathan determines to make the most of her interest.
As usual, some characters will be familiar from other novels of Balzac. Felix de Vandenesse was one of the stars of The Lily of the Valley. Eugene de Rastignac was a principal character in Le Père Goriot. The complete list appears at the end of this book. This is one of the under-appreciated titles of Balzac.

About the Author

Honoré de Balzac (20 May 1799 – 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. In 1832, he conceived a project of writing a collection of books that would describe all aspects of society. Originally called Etudes des Mœurs (Study of Mores), it eventually became known as La Comédie Humaine, which became a slice of French life in the years after the fall of Napoleon. Honoré de Balzac's attention to detail and realist representation of society earns him the title of one of the founders of realism in European literature. His characters are complex, and not easy to pigeonhole (like real life). He influenced writers such Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustave Flaubert, Henry James, William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino.
