Summary: "La pace domestica; L'elisir di lunga vita; La borsa: Racconti scelti" by Honoré de Balzac is a collection of selected short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores the complex relationships and societal dynamics of its characters, delving into themes of love, ambition, and morality within the backdrop of early 19th century France, primarily during the Napoleonic era. The characters, including the elegant countess de Soulanges and the ambitious baron Marziale, find themselves entangled in romantic intrigues and societal expectations.
