Black Sheep - Balzac Honore de
His elegantly-crafted tale of sibling rivalry, Honor de Balzac's The Black Sheep is translated from the French with an introduction by Donald Adamson in Penguin Classics. The elder, Philippe, is a superficially heroic soldier and adored by their mother Agathe. Philippe and Joseph Bridau are two extremely different brothers.
His younger brother Joseph, meanwhile, is fundamentally virtuous - but their mother is blinded to his kindness by her disapproval of his life as an artist. He is nonetheless a bitter figure, secretly gambling away her savings after a brief but glorious career as Napoleon's aide-de-camp at the battle of Montereau. Foolish and prejudiced, Agathe lives on unaware that she is being cynically manipulated by her own favourite child - but will she ever discover which of her sons is truly the black sheep of the family?
