woman in her thirties

Author's name: De Balzac

Somerset Maugham considers Balzac to be the greatest novelist known to humanity. Therefore, we cannot talk about literature, especially French literature, without referring to him as a pioneer, alongside Émile Zola, Victor Hugo, Lamartine, Alphonse, and Doré. Balzac is one of the writers closest to the human spirit, as we will see in his novel “A Woman of Thirty,” which has been translated into more than one language. In addition to being translated into Arabic more than once, the translation we are about to publish by the writer “Sophie Abdallah” remains the closest translation to the spirit of the text and its striking humanity. Through the novel, we get to know a sensitive woman who makes the mistake of marrying a man who cares only about her body, disregarding her feelings and psychological state. In the novel, we will learn of the great paradoxes in the life of this victimized woman.
