Massimilla Doni is considered one of Balzac's finest works and is praised for its vivid descriptions of Venice and its characters. It is a must-read for fans of French literature and those interested in exploring the complexities of love and human relationships.This was an untenable position. Cataneo, who only looked for a duchess, thought himself ridiculous as a husband; and, when Massimilla complained of this indifference, he calmly bid her look about her for a cavaliere servente, even offering his services to introduce to her some youths from whom to choose. The Duchess wept; the Duke made his bow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
