“The three short novels that make up Balzac’s The History of the Thirteen are partly connected to the activities of a wealthy, powerful, criminal, and unscrupulous secret society in nineteenth-century France. Together, these works form a solid and fascinating foundation for many of Balzac’s later characters of Parisian life in his great novel cycle The Human Comedy.”
