La Grande Bretèche
Honoré de Balzac
In a quiet French town, a crumbling, locked-up manor stirs the curiosity of all who pass it. No one enters. No one speaks of what happened inside. But behind the overgrown garden and shuttered windows lies a story of love, betrayal, and a chilling act of vengeance.
When a visiting doctor presses for answers, he uncovers a tale that was meant to stay buried. A jealous husband. A secret lover. A sealed fate. The mystery of La Grande Bretèche reveals itself slowly, with devastating clarity.
Told through layers of memory and local legend, Balzac’s short story delivers a compact, suspenseful narrative with a deeply haunting payoff.
Perfect for fans of dark romantic suspense, gothic tales, and French literature with a sharp psychological edge.
