The Physiology of Marriage, Part 2
The Physiology of Marriage is a non-fiction work written in multiple volumes by French novelist and playwright Honore de Balzac whose magnum opus La Comédie humaine.
Author's Introduction:
“Marriage is not an institution of nature. The family in the east is entirely different from the family in the west. Man is the servant of nature, and the institutions of society are grafts, not spontaneous growths of nature. Laws are made to suit manners, and manners vary. “Marriage must therefore undergo the gradual development towards perfection to which all human affairs submit.”
