La canne de M. de Balzac by Mme Emile de Girardin
"La canne de M. de Balzac" by Mme Emile de Girardin is a novel published in 1836. This satirical work centers on a magical walking stick belonging to Honoré de Balzac that renders its holder invisible when held in the left hand. Tancrède Dorimont, a man cursed by his own beauty and burdened with both a tragic and comic name, discovers the cane and uses its power to read women's hearts as
skillfully as Balzac himself, transforming his miserable existence into one of fortune and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
