These books penetrate the depths of the human soul and explore every movement of a trembling heart. Raphael de Valantene — a young aristocrat left without a penny in his pocket, decides to do what no man before him dared to — seduced by power, he signs a strange contract in an antique shop. Having obtained everything he desired with the help of a scrap of leather skin, the young man suddenly realizes that true value lies not in money or dubious pleasures, but in the fleeting moments of precious life. A classic translation by Boris Griftsov, a specialist on the works of Honoré de Balzac.
