by HonoredeBalzac (Author)
In this novella, Balzac compares Paris to Dante's Inferno, using the hierarchy of circles to convey the ceaseless struggles for money and pleasure, at all levels of society. He turns Paris into an urban myth, in which the vital forces of society and self interest are set in conflict.
