One of the most compelling episodes of Balzac's
'Human Comedy', in which Parisian perfumer César Birotteau
gets in more trouble than he can handle by involving himself
in a land deal.
"Are you certain that
your soul has had its full development ? Do you breathe in air
through every pore of it ? Do your eyes see all they can see?"
Honoré de Balzac
