Paris :
The Unknown Masterpiece
One of Balzac's most celebrated tales, this is the story of a painter who, depending on one's perspective, is either an abject failure or a transcendental genius—or both. The story, which has served as an inspiration to artists as various as Henry James and Picasso, is, in Dore Ashton's words, a "fable of modern art." Here it appears as Balzac intended, with "Gambara," a grotesque and tragic novella about a musician undone by his dreams.
