Inspiré à Balzac par son expérience dans l'imprimerie, Illusions perdues raconte l'échec de Lucien de Rubempré, jeune provincial épris de gloire littéraire. En contrepoint au parcours malheureux de ce "grand homme de province", alternativement héros et antihéros plein de faiblesses, l'histoire évoque les modèles de vertu que sont la famille de Lucien et le "Cénacle", cercle intellectuel de "vrais grands hommes".

Voici donc l'histoire de ce père Goriot, vermicellien ayant fait fortune et qui, tel l'Albatros de Baudelaire, se déchirera les entrailles pour élever ses enfants. Mais, malgré le titre du roman, en est-ce vraiment le héros où est-ce Eugène de Rastignac, jeune homme issu d'une noble mais pauvre famille, venu faire des études de droit à Paris et qui va essayer par tous les moyens de se hisser dans l'échelle sociale parisienne ?

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.)

Dass es in der Welt der durchorganisierten Gesellschaft zugeht wie in einem geordneten Irrenhaus, in dem die Momente des Zufalls, der Willkür und der belanglosen Gründlichkeit geheimen Gesetzen und Mustern folgen, die uns martern und entfremden, offenbart uns Franz Kafka mit seinem Roman „Der Prozess". Das Drama „Hamlet" von William Shakespeare zeigt einen Menschen in tiefer Krise seiner Existenz und spart dabei weder an Gruseleffekten, Humor, Philosophie oder Liebestragik.

Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.
