The novella opens in Paris on the Rue Saint-Denis with a description of a very old house. Opposite the house a young man stands in the pouring rain. He stares at the house waiting for a glimpse of a young girl.
In this story Balzac examines how class differences impact the relationship between men and women and asks the question ‘does it take a particular kind of woman to live with a man of genius?’

Honoré de BalzacAuthor
Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright whose vast Comedie humaine sought to portray every stratum of post-Napoleonic French society. Born in Tours, he was a founder of literary realism. 'At the Sign of the Cat and Racket' (1830) stands at the head of the Comedie humaine.
