Modeste Mignon Honoré de Balzac, tradotto da Clara Bell English
You’d enjoy this if you like romantic novels that keep questioning romance: Modeste’s letters to the poet Canalis are tender, clever, and tangled up with literary vanity, while her father’s ruined fortunes add real pressure. It’s talky and socially observant, with Balzac gently exposing how people perform love before they understand it.
The Theory of the Leisure Class Thorstein Veblen English
You get a sharp, surprisingly funny way to see status games everywhere, from conspicuous clothing to expensive entertainments and the social value of doing nothing. Veblen’s prose is dense and sometimes repetitive, but his dry irony rewards patience, especially when you recognize “pecuniary emulation” in modern life.
