The Deputy of Arcis

Anotace

Due to Balzac\'s death in 1850, \'The Deputy of Arcis\' was left incomplete at its most compelling moment. A political satire criticizing the electoral system, taking place in the provinces of southern France and revolving around a fierce electoral dispute. But the arrival of a mysterious man changes everything - is it for better or worse?Balzac\'s creative genius, combined with a humourous and ironic narrative makes this read thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. Guy de Maupassant, Flaubert and Emile Zola were naturalist authors who were directly influenced by Balzac.Strongly recommended for fans of modern-day humorous political sitcoms such as \'Parks and Recreation,\' starring Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman as the unforgettable duo Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson.
