«La Peau de chagrin» is Honoré de Balzac's fantasy novel, edited by Dominique Féraud, published by Hatier in paperback (527 pages, in French).
In 1830s Paris, the ruined young aristocrat Raphaël de Valentin discovers in an antique shop a shagreen skin that grants all his wishes, but each fulfilled wish shortens his life expectancy. Balzac blends the fantastic with philosophical reflection: an intense but brief life or a long existence without passion?
The complete text is accompanied by a dossier for the new French bac with the parcours «Les romans de l'énergie : création et destruction»; the novel belongs to Balzac's «La Comédie humaine».
School edition for 1re générale students preparing the written and oral French bac exam.
