Cousin Pons

This is one of Balzac's chief masterpieces of “The Comedie Humaine” or “Scenes From a Parisian Life”. Here, purest friendship is pitted against callousness and greed over a dying art collector’s treasures. The common class and the bourgeoisie are described here in great detail - with a distinct blurring of the lines that differentiate them. AVAILABLE ON CASSETTE ONLY.
