About the Book



A French soldier escapes captivity and stumbles into something stranger than war: solitude, survival, and a wild intimacy with a panther in the sands of Egypt.



Book Synopsis



"They ended as all great passions do--by a misunderstanding."

A French soldier escapes captivity and stumbles into something stranger than war: solitude, survival, and a wild intimacy with a panther in the sands of Egypt. What begins in fear turns to ritual, fascination, and a bond as mysterious as it is fatal. Balzac's tale is swift, elemental, and aching with ambiguity--half love story, half fable, all fire.



About the Author



Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a novelist, obsessive chronicler, and architect of La Comédie Humaine--his vast, teeming portrait of French society. He wrote with feverish speed and forensic precision, capturing ambition, love, cruelty, and delusion in all their human excess.
