The first new English translation for more than 35 years of Balzac's extraordinary The Wild Ass's Skin, it is also the first edition in English to include Balzac's original Preface of 1831. This novel has been freshly translated by Helen Constantine, who captures Balzac's stylistic energy and exuberance. Patrick Coleman's wide-ranging introduction considers the multiple perspectives of the novel, its conceptualization of historical change, and its satirical commentary on contemporary society. His extensive notes clarify Balzac's many allusions to the culture and society of his time. The book also includes an up-to-date bibliography and helpful map of Paris in 1830.

Best Wallet So Far
It took me years of my wife telling me to get a new wallet (my old one was GREAT but very old, worn and dirty but like an old friend... hard to get ride of). I needed something that would hold A LOT OF CARDS. After much searching on Amazon and reading reviews, I selected this one as I likes the style. Right off the bat I liked it. It held almost all my cards (I discarded 2 or 3 that were old and expired) and am amazed at how thin it is (especially compared to my old wallet) and comfortable in my back pants pocket. I especially like the bi-fold feature that organizes my cards so when I need one, I know exactly where it is. Looks well made and hopefully will last many years.

Great Quality Men's Wallet
Color: 172-Brown-no zipper, Color: 172-Brown-no zipper
Great packaging. The wallet is very nice quality, soft feel yet strong. There are adequate inserts and pockets to hold cards, cash and even a picture. Gifting this to my husband for father's day.

Great but too thick for me...
Color: 172-Brown-no zipper
It is my fault for not understanding how thick this wallet is. Great wallet, lots of space and looks great. It is just a bit big for my back pocket in jeans.

A great wallet with a whole lot of room for card🤘
Color: 172-Black
It definitely holds a lot of cards as an OTR truck driver I have a lot of different reward cards different payment cards different ID cards it holds all the cards very well for the price it's a little thick but that's thanks to how many cards I have if I didn't have so many cards it wouldn't be so thick it's very easily organized to have conveniently located cards that you use the most at the front. Beautiful black leather and it definitely can take a beating and hold the cards snugly
