Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Exiles" by Honoré de Balzac is a short story published in 1831. Set in early fourteenth-century Paris, it follows two mysterious strangers who lodge in a sergeant's dark house near Notre-Dame. The elder guest is none other than the exiled poet Dante Alighieri, while his young companion harbors a dangerous secret. Through mystical theology and philosophical reflections on intelligence and angels, their fates intertwine in unexpected ways as Dante faces the possibility of returning home to Florence.
