The Black Sheep. A novel by Honoré de Balzac. Translated by Sigurjón Björnsson.
The Black Sheep is in some ways unique among Balzac's novels. It skips the long introduction that characterizes many of his stories and gets straight to the point. The plot moves faster than in most of his other stories. The tension is greater and more blood flows.
In this respect, this story is more like modern crime stories. But it differs from them in that the undertone is more serious, the moral message clearer. Among other things, the reader is given here significant food for thought about the formative effects of upbringing. He may not always agree with Balzac, but he will hardly forget this book after the first reading.
