I've had a quick look on Gallica and see that they have lots of Balzac and that they seem to be in html, so your luck is in.
So, Yvan, which ones would you like?
(I'm also quite tempted by Chateaubriand's Memoires d'outre tombe because I visited Combourg recently.)
PS I'm a bit busy this weekend, so it may be Monday before I get round to it.

You lucky person! Combourg is my favorite castle; and then Carcassone which I have visited as a kid. This is what I miss most of Europe, all the past is in your face. Here it's miles and miles of emptiness. Get's boring after a while...
I have picked up a few works on Gallica. I mentionned Balzac not because I wish to get his works, but only to find out if it was in its original French (my mother tongue) and to see if there were people interested in other languages. Don't fret on it. Thanks for the consideration!
