Through rich dialogues and vivid scenes, the book endeavors to reshape our ...

El coronel Chabert (1832) es una sobrecogedora novela breve que retrata una sociedad donde la justicia y el honor han perdido su significado.

Quitteriez-vous tout ce que vous possédez en échange de l'éternité ? C'est la question existentielle que pose Balzac dans son roman sulfureux, "La Peau de chagrin". Raphaël de Valentin, un jeune homme désabusé, découvre un étrange objet : une peau d'animal capable d'exaucer tous ses désirs. Mais à chaque vœu réalisé, la peau rétrécit inexorablement, raccourcissant ainsi la vie de son propriétaire.

Story0
The Philosophical Studies from The Human Comedy (La Comedie Humaine) are a series of works that are intended as a reflection on history in part through the use of fiction. 'Catherine de Medici' is one such 'study', and features, alongside detailed history (and even architectural) sections, elements of the 'story' are fictionalised. In particular, this happens through dialogue that describes the feelings of the characters and what they are doing, these parts in the manner of a novel. In particular, Catherine de Medici (apparently), was depicted by historians as a bad ruler.

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.

"Das nach jedem Krieg wieder auftauchende Thema des Totgeglaubten, dessen Wiedererscheinen Verwirrung stiftet, gibt dem Dichter Anlass zu einer pessimistischen Gesellschaftskritik. Die Gesellschaft hat sich seit Balzac verändert, das Stück aber ist aktuell geblieben und wird es bleiben, solange sich nicht das Wesen des Menschen zum Guten verändert."

Rastignac, resté seul, fit quelques pas vers le haut du cimetière et vit Paris tortueusement couché le long des deux rives de la Seine où commençaient à briller les lumières. Ses yeux s'attachèrent presque avidement entre la colonne Vendôme et le dôme des Invalides, là où vivait ce beau monde dans lequel il avait voulu pénétrer. Il lança sur cette ruche bourdonnante un regard qui semblait par avance pomper le miel, et dit ces mots grandioses : "À nous deux maintenant !"

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.
