Dans le monde fastueux mais impitoyable du Paris post-napoléonien, un jeune homme au bord du désespoir découvre par hasard un objet qui changera son destin à jamais. Raphaël de Valentin, appauvri et désabusé, acquiert un mystérieux morceau de cuir enchanté, la peau d'un âne sauvage, qui exauce tous les souhaits de son propriétaire. Cependant, chaque désir exaucé a un coût terrible : la peau rétrécit, et avec elle, la durée de vie de Raphaël.

Le commandant Genestas qui a combattu auprès de Napoléon, désormais en exil, arrive dans un village du Dauphiné près de Grenoble. Là, il rencontre le docteur Benassis, personnage éminent du petit bourg dont il est devenu maire. On apprend qu'en l'espace de dix années, ce médecin a redonné vie et prospérité à cette région, autrefois pauvre et enclavée, peuplée de gens miséreux et superstitieux. Une amitié se noue entre les deux hommes dont le passé cache peut-être quelques zones d'ombre.

In the turbulent year of 1830, Honoré de Balzac unveils the captivating tale of Sarrasine, a sculptor on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

In modern society writing a letter, on paper, is almost unheard of. We all scribble notes and reminders but very rarely compose our thoughts in lengthy prose for another person to read. In this volume our talented authors bring us a plethora of narratives that centre themselves on how vital a few lines are to characters navigating through the twists and turns of a story.

In una Parigi dominata dalla brama di denaro e di potenza, il giovane studente Eugène de Rastignac viene iniziato ai segreti del bel mondo. Ospite della pensione di madame Vauquer, scopre l'ipocrisia che si cela dappertutto, dietro l'amicizia, l'amore, la pietà, il matrimonio, sotto lo splendore aristocratico come nella mediocrità borghese. Capisce che il prezzo da pagare per aver successo è quello di sacrificare i propri ideali e le illusioni giovanili.

In diesem Dreiteiler, der wiederum Teil der monumentalen "comédie humaine" ist, beschreibt Honoré de Balzac die Irrungen und Wirrungen eines Dichters aus der Provinz in Paris. Das Frankreich der bourbonischen Restauration und seine oft bizarre Spaltung zwischen Paris und der Provinz wird in helles Licht getaucht. Der Dichter Lucien Chardon mit all seinen Begabungen erfährt einen Charaktertest, in dem klar wird, dass Ehrgeiz ohne eine entsprechende Bereitschaft zu demütiger Arbeit kein Erfolg beschieden sein kann.

Como dijo Oscar Wilde, el siglo XIX es un invento de Balzac. Dentro de La comedia humana, el vasto ciclo de su novelística, Eugénie Grandet ocupa un lugar cenital. La historia del avaro Grandet y de su hija Eugénie, que vive desgarrada entre la tiranía de su padre y su amor por un joven parisino, compone el mejor retrato coral de la sociedad francesa de la época, a la vez que presenta a algunos de los personajes más perfectos de la historia de la literatura.

Story0
"The unknown masterpiece", or "Le chef-d'œuvre inconnu", is a story by the French author Honoré de Balzac. This short text was of tremendous importance in the world of art, for it holds a groundbreaking reflection about artistic creation: what does completion or failure mean, and how is it that technique does not guarantee either. Paul Cézanne famously said "I am Frenhofer", identifying with the old master around which the story revolves. Pablo Picasso himself was absolutely fascinated by the text, so much that he had his studio moved in the Parisian street named in the story; there, he painted his own masterpiece, Guernica.

"Oggi la mano di lei molce segrete afflizioni di ogni casa, ed ella s'avvia verso l'alto per una strada di benefici. La grandezza dell'anima copre i difetti dell'educazione e delle prime abitudini in questa donna che vive nel mondo e ad esso non appartiene, che era nata per divenire sposa e madre esemplare e non ha marito, né figlioli, né famiglia. Di recente si parlò di una nuova proposta di matrimonio da parte del marchese Froidfond, la cui parentela cominciava a circuire la ricca vedova come un giorno avevano fatto i Cruchot."

Obra maestra de Balzac, Las ilusiones perdidas cuenta la historia de un joven de provincias con ambiciones artísticas que sueña con triunfar en París. La odisea de Lucien Rubempré desde la inocencia de su Angulema natal hasta el fango del fracaso constituye uno de los periplos narrativos más audaces, embelesadores e imponentes de la narrativa del siglo XIX. Crónica de toda una época, elegía y recuerdo de los perdidos sueños de juventud, esta novela, apoteosis y a la vez síntesis de La comedia humana, ha consolidado con el tiempo el vigor de su intimidante grandeza.
