Why this short story has Does it not been turned to the cinema? Mystery and gumdrop !!! What I find remarkable is its construction, controlled by backtracking. And also the psychology of this moving story. The authors of the film TV are ridiculous with their vapid stories, Balzac who questioned madness managed a small masterpiece they would do well to be inspired! Spectators would gain; decidedly, it is better to read than to brutalize "the strange skylight" as Balzac have written!
