The novel teems with characters, incidents, and settings, though perhaps none so vivid as its panoramic and despairing view of Paris as the nexus of modernity’s cultural, social, and moral infection. For Balzac, no institution better illustrates the new reality than Parisian journalism: “amoral, hypocritical, brazen, dishonest, and murderous,” he writes.","brand":"Penguin Clásicos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49030986170623,"sku":"9789585573727","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9789585573727","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
