Listed by the British newspaper "The Guardian" as number 12 on a
list of the 100 greatest novels of all-time, Honore de Balzac's
"The Black Sheep" is another installment in his magnum opus "The
Human Comedy." Agathe Rouget, who is born in Issoudun, is sent to
be raised by her maternal relatives, the Descoings in Paris by her
father Doctor Rouget. Agathe has two sons, Philippe and Joseph,
with which the story is principally concerned. Philippe becomes a
soldier in Napoleon's armies, while Joseph becomes an artist.
Philippe, who is ironically his mother's favorite, is a hard
drinker with a gambling problem that brings trouble to the family.
The differences between the two brothers are brilliantly contrasted
by Balzac as their true natures are revealed throughout the course
of the work. As in the rest of "The Human Comedy" Balzac criticizes
the value that is placed on wealth and beautifully illustrates the
conflict that arises out of the ambition to achieve a place in the
aristocratic society of France.

1887. Balzac is considered to be the greatest name in the
post-Revolutionary literature of France. His writings display a
profound knowledge of the human heart, with an extraordinary range
of knowledge. A classic example of the French realist novel, which
contrasts the social progress of an impoverished but ambitious
aristocrat with the tale of a father, whose obsessive love for his
daughters leads to his personal and financial ruin. See other
