Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Country Parson: Le Curé De Village Perhaps in no instance of Balzac´s work is his singular fancy for pulling that work about more remarkably instanced and illustrated than in the case of "The Country Parson." The double date, 1837-1845, which the author attached to it, in his usual conscientious manner, to indicate these revisions, has a greater signification than almost anywhere else. When the book, or rather its constituent parts, first appeared in the Presse for 1839, having been written the winter before, not only was it very different in detail, but the order of the parts was altogether dissimilar. Balzac here carried out his favorite plan - a plan followed by many other authors no doubt, but always, as it seems to me, of questionable wisdom - that of beginning in the middle and then "throwing back" with a long retrospective and explanatory digression. In this version the story of Tascheron´s crime and its punishment came first; and it was not till after the execution that the early history of Veronique (who gave her name to this part as to a "Suite du Cure de Village") was introduced. This history ceased at the crisis of her life; and when it was taken up in a third part, called "Vronique au Tombeau," only the present conclusion of the book, with her confession, was given. The long account of her sojourn at Montegnac, of her labors there, of the episode of Farrabesche, and so forth, did not appear till 1841, when the whole book, with the inversions and insertions just indicated, appeared in such a changed form that even the indefatigable M. de Lovenjoul dismisses as "impossible" the idea of exhibiting a complete picture of the various changes made.
