Unforgettable setting and imagery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
An extremely imaginative story. The exoticism and mystery of the setting and characters (one of the main protagonists is a large feline) will fascinate long after you've finished the book. Haunting.
Excellent imagery and use of emotion

This was a story that I read in school and was so impressed that I purchased a book of short stories that this appeared in. The author's use of emotion and imagery is outstanding and this is probably the best short story that I have ever read.
Fascinating story; beautifully written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I read this story in Junior High as part of a reading study for class and was truely fascinated by the imagery of De Balzac. I always remembered it as a favorite and where that book is today i don't know, but i was completely surprised when i recently rented a movie and saw "Passion in the Desert" as one of the previews! I don't remember the story being long enough for a movie, but that's never stopped a movie from being filmed and produced before. If someone could please help me locate this story, i would be much obliged!
