Sinopse

'Ursula' (original French title 'Ursule Mirouet,' 1842) forms one part of 'Scenes from Provincial Life,' a series of novels-whose other major work is 'Eugenie Grandet'-examining manners and morals in the French provinces. --- Among all the novels of Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), none depicts so penetratingly the small-mindedness, avarice, and envy of the provincial lower middle classes. In 'Ursula', no limitations based on morality or decency will hold these people back in their effort to acquire wealth and influence. --- Along with Stendhal, Balzac is the most important French novelist of the first half of the nineteenth century, and a founder of the realistic novel in Europe. His principal work is the unfinished cycle 'The Human Comedy' (French: 'La Comedie Humaine,' which includes 'Scenes from Provincial Life'), in which he attempted, in more than 80 volumes, to depict the society of his time in its entirety.
