A Second Home is a novel written by Honore De Balzac, a prominent French author of the 19th century. The story revolves around a young man named Philippe, who is forced to leave his family home in Paris due to financial troubles. He moves to a small town in the countryside to live with his wealthy godfather, Monsieur de Merret.Philippe soon falls in love with Monsieur de Merret's wife, Madame de Merret, who is unhappy in her marriage. The two begin an affair, which leads to a series of tragic events. Madame de Merret becomes pregnant and Philippe tries to convince her to leave her husband and start a new life with him. However, she refuses and ultimately dies giving birth to their child.The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It also portrays the stark contrast between the city and the countryside, as well as the societal expectations placed on individuals during the 19th century.Overall, A Second Home is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our choices.The Rue du Tourniquet-Saint-Jean, formerly one of the darkest and most tortuous of the streets about the Hotel de Ville, zigzagged round the little gardens of the Paris Prefecture, and ended at the Rue Martroi, exactly at the angle of an old wall now pulled down. Here stood the turnstile to which the street owed its name; it was not removed till 1823.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
