A merciless Breton lord does not want the premature child of seven months, therefore failed, that his wife Jeanne will bring into the world. He decides to kill this damned child and calls a doctor, half midwife, half executioner, for this purpose. Anodyne appearance of this historical account, bordering on small reviews from 1830. But it is the essential Balzac that engages in this novel of the past located in 1594, at the time when Henry IV consolidated his throne, a story of strange beauty. A blend of extreme sweetness, perversity and loving tenderness.

But the doctor is a good guy. He diverts the father from the criminal project: "Spare yourself a crime, this child will not live" If you are not dead, Etienne, the cursed child is driven out of the father's house.

This novel is worth reading. It is current. It will make the cursed children of today think, those whom our societies exclude in our cities, those to whom our precious national identity is denied. Illegitimate children.

By the way, what is the place in each of us of the cursed? Is it sometimes against her that we fight? The cursed one is not only the other, it is also us.
