The great French writer Honoré de Balzac knew well how to be sensitive to a woman’s soul. In such things he had no peers. But, probably, even he could not invent a more exotic beginning of a novel than the story of how he met Evelina Hanska who lived in Ukraine, in Verkhivnia village located in Zhytomyr region. Find out about the epistolary romance between Balzac and Hanska and their late wedding in Berdychiv church – in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
