Format: Paperback
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.

" L 'état de célibataire, écrit Balzac, est un état contraire à la société ". Le célibat engendre la solitude, la frustration, la haine ; Pierrette, un des drames les plus sombres e La Comédie Humaine, nous montre comment les calculs de la sottise et de l'avarice aboutissent au meurtre de l'enfant. Le Curé des Tours met en présence les deux catégories d'êtres dans lesquels les poisons du célibat se développent de la manière la plus redoutable : la vieille fille et le prêtre. Remarquable document politique sur la puissance de l'Eglise sous la Restauration, Le Curé des Tours illustre en même temps le postulat balzacien selon lequel les existences les plus obscures recèlent autant de violence que les tragédies de l'histoire : le terrible abbé Troubert qui conduit à la mort l'innocent abbé Birotteau, c'est " Sixte Quint réduit aux proportions d'un évêché ".
