Balzac — The Thirteen / Father Goriot and Other Stories

1901 (confirmed)

One of these two novels was the exam question Anthony still remembers, seventeen years on.

Copyrighted in 1901 by the Avil Publishing Company as part of a University Edition set, this volume pairs two novels from Balzac's Comédie Humaine — The Thirteen and Father Goriot — with an introduction by George Saintsbury. Père Goriot remains a fixture of French secondary education.

Navy cloth, cream spine label, octavo. Corners rubbed.

“Le Père Goriot was a key theme of my baccalauréat finals.” Anthony
