The House of the Cat Who Pelted: followed by The Ball of Seals; The Vendetta; The Purse. Four "scenes of private life," four short stories written around 1830 that show Balzac beginning his social investigation, taking root in reality, laying the first stones of the edifice of The Human Comedy. This comedy is primarily about love, and three of these stories depict failed marriages, one due to cultural incompatibility, another due to social arrogance, and the third due to the madness of familial vengeance. But beyond the romantic intrigue appears the soon abundant variety of types and conditions: shopkeepers and courtiers, remnants of the Old Regime, lions and wolves of the Restoration, while Balzac discovers the mysterious and cruel Paris that will be one of the main characters of his work.
