Description

"At the Sign of the Cat and Racket" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel published in 1830. When a celebrated artist falls for a cloth merchant's daughter, their passionate romance leads to marriage. But their union proves tragically mismatched—she adores him yet cannot understand his artistic soul, while he grows cold and distant. As Augustine struggles to bridge the gulf between their worlds, she must confront whether love alone can sustain a marriage torn between bourgeois values and artistic temperament.
