Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Juana"" is a novel by the French author Honore De Balzac. The story revolves around Juana, a young Spanish woman who is forced into a loveless marriage with a wealthy nobleman. Despite her husband's wealth and status, Juana is unhappy and yearns for a deeper connection with someone who truly understands her. She finds solace in the company of her cousin, Don Diego, who is also unhappily married. The two begin a passionate affair, but their happiness is short-lived as their families discover their secret and they are forced to part ways. Juana is left to navigate the complicated and often oppressive social norms of 19th century Spain, as she struggles to find her place in a world that seems determined to keep her down. Balzac's novel is a powerful exploration of love, passion, and the limitations imposed by society.An awful destiny! Juana, who felt neither esteem nor love for Diard, was bound to him forever, by a rash but necessary promise. The man was neither handsome nor well-made. His manners, devoid of all distinction, were a mixture of the worst army tone, the habits of his province, and his own insufficient education. How could she love Diard, she, a young girl all grace and elegance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
