La Fille aux Yeux d'Or (The Girl with the Golden Eyes) [French & English Bilingual Edition] - Paragraph by Paragraph Translation

La Fille aux Yeux d'Or (Histoire des Treize - III)
The Girl with the Golden Eyes
by Honoré de Balzac

La Fille aux Yeux d'Or (The Girl with the Golden Eyes) is the third part of a trilogy. Part one is entitled Ferragus and part two is The Duchesse de Langeais.
The story on the surface is that of Henri de Marsay, who falls in love with a girl and tries to seduce her and succeeds. He later becomes disappointed since she has another lover.
The larger story is that of Paris, the promise of luxury, riches, and pleasure. The city is fascinating, attractive, yet it is also destructive. Balzac has emphasized the "hellish" nature of Paris in this story.

About The Bilingual Edition
Project Bilingual (A division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original French writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.
Furthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading French writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the French culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.
