Story
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.

"La femme de trente ans" évoque la condition féminine au travers du récit d'un mariage qui échoue. Julie de Chastillon est une jeune femme poussée trop vite dans le mariage et en quête permanente d'une rencontre amoureuse digne d'être vécue, elle devient adultère.

Story
One of the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. In 1833 he conceived the idea of linking together his novels so that they would comprehend the whole society in a series of books. This plan eventually led to 90 novels and novellas (including more than 2,000 characters) that he called "The Human Comedy". Balzac's huge and ambitious plan drew a picture of the customs, atmosphere, and habits of the bourgeois France.

Story
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.

Story
Quand Balzac publie en 1835 "Le Contrat de Mariage", il publie un roman de formation, un roman stratégique, un roman social, mais surtout une critique acerbe et lucide de sa société, faite de rivalités, d’intérêts, de rapports de forces... L'auteur y fait montre de son génie de l'observation du monde qu'il fréquente, décrivant les trois vices du monde, le plaisir, l'argent et la puissance. À travers l'histoire de ce mariage ruiné et vicié par l'hypocrisie, les mensonges, la haine, Balzac distille également ses conseils maritaux, se montrant très virulent à l'encontre des mœurs de sa société.

Story
Ce récit écrit en 1829 sera placé, plus tard, par Balzac en ouverture de la Comédie humaine. On y retrouve la trame de ce que seront les romans la composant et l’on y croise déjà les héros des autres épisodes. Tout y préfigure la grande oeuvre de Balzac : les descriptions minutieuses, l’analyse profonde des sentiments, l’histoire dramatique. C’est, en ces quelques pages, une miniature parfaite de tout ce qui suivra.
