Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Beatrix" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel published in 1839. Young Calyste du Guénic loves the celebrated writer Félicité des Touches, but she doesn't return his affections. He then falls for the beautiful but cruel marchioness Béatrix de Rochefide, setting off a complex romantic entanglement.
