The first new English translation for more than 35 years of Balzac's extraordinary The Wild Ass's Skin, it is also the first edition in English to include Balzac's original Preface of 1831. This novel has been freshly translated by Helen Constantine, who captures Balzac's stylistic energy and exuberance. Patrick Coleman's wide-ranging introduction considers the multiple perspectives of the novel, its conceptualization of historical change, and its satirical commentary on contemporary society. His extensive notes clarify Balzac's many allusions to the culture and society of his time. The book also includes an up-to-date bibliography and helpful map of Paris in 1830.

Great value for very sturdy, leak free plates
Size: 6"
Really like these plates! They had the best price per plate & come in a large quantity which is a huge plus for me. We use them to feed our cats wet food & sometimes water & the liquids have never leaked through the plates They are the perfect size for feeding, 1 plate will easily hold a can of cat food. They are very sturdy & don't slide across the floor while the cats are eating off them.

Love these!
Size: 9"
We use these quite often. I try to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and not only are these the best value we have found for compostable plates, they are also more sturdy than traditional paper plates. I don't think I will ever go back to non compostable plates.
