Cousin Betty
Cousin Betty (La Cousine Bette), published in 1846, is one of Honoré de Balzac's final works and a key part of his collection, La Comédie Humaine. Set in mid-19th-century France, the novel follows a woman who, feeling resentful as a 'poor relation,' devises schemes to undermine her wealthier family members. Balzac's exploration of character psychology and societal change marks this work as influential in the development of literary realism, impacting authors like Dickens and Dostoyevsky.
