Overview

""They ended as all great passions do-by a misunderstanding."" A French soldier escapes captivity and stumbles into something stranger than war: solitude, survival, and a wild intimacy with a panther in the sands of Egypt. What begins in fear turns to ritual, fascination, and a bond as mysterious as it is fatal. Balzac's tale is swift, elemental, and aching with ambiguity-half love story, half fable, all fire.

Author Information

Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) was a novelist, obsessive chronicler, and architect of La Comédie Humaine—his vast, teeming portrait of French society. He wrote with feverish speed and forensic precision, capturing ambition, love, cruelty, and delusion in all their human excess.
