La Duchesse de Langeais
'' La Duchesse de Langeais '' is an 1834 novel by French author Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) and included in the ''Scènes de la vie parisienne'' section of his novel sequence ''La Comédie humaine''. It is part of his 1839 trilogy ''Histoire des treize'': ''Ferragus'' is the first part, Part Two is ''La Duchesse de Langeais'' and Part Three is ''The Girl with the Golden Eyes''. It first appeared in 1834 under the title ''Ne touchez pas la hache'' (Don’t Touch the Axe)〔This expression is a reference to the axe that had been used to decapitate Charles I of England, which the character Montriveau had overheard at Westminster Palace.〕 in the periodical ''L'Écho de la Jeune France''.
==Plot==
General Armand de Montriveau, a war hero, is enamored of Duchess Antoinette de Langeais, a coquettish, married noblewoman who invites him to a ball but ultimately refuses his sexual advances and then disappears. Assisted by the powerful group known as The Thirteen, who subscribe to an occult form of freemasonry, General Montriveau finds the duchess in a Spanish monastery of Discalced Carmelites under the name of Sister Theresa.
Dedicated to Franz Liszt, this portrait of a vain representative of the noble families of Faubourg Saint-Germain, was inspired by the Duchess of Castries with whom Balzac had a failed romance.
