Ursule Mirouët

Ursule Mirouët is a Romance French of Honore de Balzac, published in the Messenger , in August - September 1841, then published in volume in 1842, in the Études of manners , section of Scenes of life of province of the human Comedy .

In this very Balzac work, where one sees the innocence and the uprightness of Ursule Mirouët put at evil by the indelicate parents of his tutor, good Doctor Minoret, the author extends lengthily on the supernatural capacities, the occultism and the thought transference, which are for him as many subjects of serious studies. Besides he seeks to convince the reader incrédule while bringing in support of his dires of the multiple documentary references, the explanations, testimonys. But it also shows how Doctor Minoret, an agnostic, is touched by the grace and reaches the faith.
