In Modeste Mignon, we follow the journey of a young provincial woman with a romantic spirit who believes she has fallen for the illustrious Parisian poet Melchior de Canalis. Unbeknownst to her, Melchior is indifferent to her affections. Instead, he enlists his secretary, Ernest de la Brière, to handle the situation. Ernest, posing as Canalis, begins to respond to Modestes letters and plays the role of her lover. The plot thickens when Ernest learns that Modeste is a wealthy heiress. Can he win her heart, even while hiding the truth? (Summary by Wikipedia, revised by Stav Nisser.)

Роман "Крестьяне" был создан Бальзаком в последний период его творчества. Роман строится на показе широких социальных явлений, на драматическом столкновении массовых материальных интересов. Ни в одном другом своем произведении не ставил с такой мужественной правдивостью и прямотой вопрос о существовании двух наций внутри одного общества - нации господ и рабов, имущих и неимущих, хозяев жизни и обездоленных.

“Sonradan şark şiirinin ruhumda ışıması gibi birdenbire parlayan bir kadın kokusu aldım. Yanımda oturan kadına baktım ve gözlerimi bu eğlenceden de çok kamaştırdı; birdenbire tüm şenliğim o oldu. Daha önceki yaşamımı iyi anladıysanız, o anda kalbimden fışkıran duyguları da tahmin edebilirsiniz. Okşayabilmek için deliye döndüğüm bu ak ve yuvarlak omuzlara takıldı gözlerim; sanki ilk kez çıplak kalmış gibi hafifçe pembeleşmişlerdi. Pek edepli, adeta bir ruhu olan ve ışıkta ipekli bir kumaş gibi parlayan saten bir teni vardı bu omuzların. Dinlemek için çok iyi bir seçim.

Story0
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.

ne petite ville assoupie dans ses habitudes, un microcosme de l’ancienne France, une vieille fille riche, Marie-Victoire Cormon, qui hésite entre deux prétendants, le chevalier de Valois et l’ex-citoyen banquier du Bousquier. Le chevalier est vieux, coquet, sans un sou, fidèle aux bourbons. Du Bousquier est arriviste, libéral, au bord de la ruine mais encore à peu près présentable. Grave conflit, lutte de clans : la monarchie contre la révolution, l’ancien temps et sa noblesse contre la richesse acquise dans la tourmente révolutionnaire.

Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive. Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and ‘reasoned’ away to an extent, in past years it’s what usually kept you alive. In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face.

Die Pension der Madame Vauquer vereint Menschen aus verschiedenen Schichten an ihrem Mittagstisch. Vor dem Hintergrund der Restauration entsteht ein gesellschaftliches Bild von Paris im beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Im Zentrum aber steht die Liebe eines Vaters zu seinen Töchtern, die keine Grenzen kennt. Dem nur scheinbaren Glück dieser Töchter, deren gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg er finanziert, opfert er alles, schließlich sogar sein Leben. Dabei steht Goriot für einen anachronistischen Idealismus, über den die neue Zeit erbarmungslos hinwegrollt.
