In 1842, eight years before his death, Balzac described Ursule
Mirouet as the masterpiece of all the studies of human society that
he had written; he regarded the book as 'a remarkable tour de
force'. An essentially simple tale about the struggle and triumph
of innocence reviled, Ursule Mirouet is characterized by that
wealth of penetrating observation so readily associated with
Balzac's work. The twin themes of redemption and rebirth are
illuminated by a consistently passionate rejection of both
philosophic and practical materialism in favour of love. In this
case love is aided by supernatural intervention, which itself
effectively illustrates Balzac's life-long fascination with the
occult.
