«La piel de zapa» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by Editorial Bruguera in hardback (290 pages, in Spanish).
Rafael de Valentin, a young man on the brink of despair, finds a magic skin that grants any wish; but each fulfilled wish shrinks the skin and brings its owner closer to death. With this fantastic premise, Balzac builds a reflection on desire, power, and human nature.
Novel originally published as «La peau de chagrin», translated from French by Rafael Cansinos Assens and included in the Club Bruguera collection (no. 46).
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
