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.

"È questa la storia meravigliosa, impossibile da dimenticare, nella quale la voluttà germoglia dal mistero, l'Oriente dischiude gli occhi grevi nel cuore dell'insonne Parigi, l'avventura si intreccia alla realtà, il fiore dell'anima sboccia sul ciglio di vertigine e morte, e il presente viene illuminato con una fiaccola così vivida da stendersi davanti a noi come le grandi ere di sogni primordiali. Una storia il cui inizio è una descrizione di Parigi, uno smisurato quadro di parole, qualcosa che si innalza, qualcosa che torreggia comeuna montagna di luce scialba e di cieca oscurità."

"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." (aus: Kritik im Radiospiegel, Heft 32, 1948).

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.

Deux récits enchâssés, au croisement du réalisme et du fantastique ; une nouvelle presque oubliée, que sa redécouverte classa parmi les plus grands textes de la littérature ; un jeu complexe d'imbrications entre sculpture, musique et littérature : Sarrasine est un des textes les plus séduisants de Balzac. Une jeune femme ne peut s'empêcher de remarquer le vieillard décharné, pareil à un spectre, qui hante un coin d'une brillante soirée parisienne.
