Produktbeschreibung

In this 1831 novel, a young man finds a piece of magical rawhide and begins making wishes. However, with each wish that is granted, the skin shrinks, and the man becomes feebler. A warning against greed, the novel established Balzac's literary reputation. Upon publication, it sold out instantly.
