What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

La Cousine Bette est le récit d'une vengeance implacable, celle d'une vieille fille, Lisbeth Fischer, qui travaille à la destruction systématique d'une famille - sa famille. Le poison de jalousie et de haine qu'elle distille répand autour d'elle son venin mortifère ; la toile arachnéenne qu'elle tisse empiège ceux qui ont ouvert la boîte de Pandore de ses passions contrariées. Nul ne sortira indemne de ce thriller réaliste, pas même le lecteur de Balzac, plongé dans un monde gangrené par la bassesse humaine et le pouvoir de l'argent. "La Cousine Bette prendra place à côté de mes grandes oeuvres", prophétisait Balzac en 1846. La postérité lui donne raison : premier volet du diptyque des Parents pauvres, ce récit noir de jais est l'une des cimes de la création romanesque du XIXe siècle.Dossier : 1. La Comédie humaine ou le monde des passions2. La vengeance : l'autre visage de la passion romantique3. Passions et châtiments4. Regards critiques.
