The first new English translation for more than 35 years of Balzacs extraordinary The Wild Asss Skin, it is also the first edition in English to include Balzacs original Preface of 1831. This novel has been freshly translated by Helen Constantine, who captures Balzacs stylistic energy and exuberance. Patrick Colemans wide-ranging introduction considers the multiple perspectives of the novel, its conceptualization of historical change, and its satirical commentary on contemporary society. His extensive notes clarify Balzacs many allusions to the culture and society of his time. The book also includes an up-to-date bibliography and helpful map of Paris in 1830.
