George Orwell
These are notes on the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1937, in which Orwell took part. The notes consist, as it were, of two parts: the story of an eyewitness participant and an analytical analysis. The author shows the war in an unusual perspective. There is no heroism in it, no clear goal and ideological orientation. Orwell describes in detail the natural benevolence of the Spaniards, their tolerance for dissent, generosity and, at the same time, practicality, monstrous lack of punctuality.

Honoré de Balzac
An extremely collectible, sweet little book named for and written in honor of Balzacs mother. Comtesse Honorine de Bauvan was married to the Comte at nineteen. She leaves him and is later abandoned by her lover when she becomes pregnant. She lives simply and earns money by making artificial flowers. What she doesnt know is that her husband is paying exorbitant prices for her work, thus supporting her while letting her think she is independent of him. The story is perhaps a common one of a wife trapped in a marriage, but is approached in an interesting manner. Honorine is an 1843 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) and included in his series of novels (or Roman-fleuve) known as La Comédie humaine (The Human Comedy) which parodies and depicts French society in the period of the Restoration and the July Monarchy (1815-1848).
