Raphael de Valentin, ruined and despairing in Paris, buys a magic piece of shagreen from an antiquary: every wish it grants shrinks the skin and spends his life. Foedora's cold brilliance and Pauline's quieter love pull him between desire and remaining days. Balzac's philosophical tale of appetite as a countdown: fortune, love, and a talisman that exacts its price.
