The Elixir of Life. E-book. Formato PDF ebook di Honoré de Balzac

This is one of Balzac's fantastic reality tales, not only resounding in the supernatural and the occult, in diabolical elixirs, eternal life or in a piece of the conscious body that returns to the life of a corpse.

The short story is about eternal life. However, this is an eternal life story with a horrific twist.

Balzac makes another social critique, pointing out how the failing society in the ethics from this tale's time views some types of people: "Truly tender, delicate, fair, generous, prudent and brave did not deserve the least regard among men."

In other words, behind the beautiful curtain of fantasy and the satanic, there is a tale that defies the moral and common standards of the institutions that underpin that society.
