Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels of Honoré De Balzac, Vol. 2: Now for the First Time Completely Translated Into English The following pages, my dear Nodier, deal largely with deeds of the sort that are protected from the action of the laws behind the closed doors of private life; but in which the finger of God, so often called Chance, supplements human justice, and whose moral, although pronounced by mocking lips, is none the less instructive and impressive. The result, in my view, is a fund of useful information both for the family and for the mother. We shall realize, too late perhaps, the effects produced by the diminution of paternal authority. This authority, which in former times ceased only at the death of the father, constituted the only human tribunal that had jurisdiction of domestic crimes, and, on important occasions, the royal power lent its hand to carry the paternal decrees into effect. However loving and kind the mother may be, she no more fills the place of that patriarchal royalty, than woman fills a king´s place on the throne; and, in the exceptional cases when the place is successfully filled, the result is a monster.
