“If the French have as great an aversion for traveling as the English have a propensity for it, both English and French have perhaps sufficient reasons.”
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of almost 100 novels and plays collectively entitled La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the fall of Napoléon Bonaparte in 1815.
