Summary:

The novella The Hated Son is a section from French writer Honore de Balzac's multi-volume masterwork, The Human Comedy . Set in the late 1500s and early 1600s, the tale follows a newly married woman who is pregnant-and the baby's father is not her new husband. Terrified of what will become of herself and the child, she fears for both of their futures. The second part of the tale occurs several decades later. Will the illegitimate child ever be accepted by his mother's husband?
