A Woman of Thirty Honor de Balzac (1799 - 1850) In this story heroine Julie is attending with her ailing father one of Napoleon's reviews of his troops. It is after the debacle in Russia, but the Old Guard still knows how to put on a show. The lovely young girl is dazzled by Colonel Victor d'Aiglemont, a dashing young adjutant who gallops by. The father notices Julie's fascination and shakes his head anxiously, knowing that the young man is unworthy of her.
Illusions perdues was written by the French writer Honor de Balzac between 1837 and 1843 and it consists of three parts, starting in provincial France, thereafter moving to Paris, and finally returning to the provinces. It resembles another of Balzac's greatest novels, The Black Sheep, in that it is set partly in Paris and partly in the provinces. It is, however, unique among the novels and short stories of The Human Comedy by virtue of the even-handedness with which it treats both geographical dimensions of French social life. Although Lost Illusions is a commentary upon the contemporary world, Balzac is tantalizingly vague in his delineation of the historico-political background. His delineation of the broader social background is far more precise. Balzac was one of the first novelists to employ the technique of "in medias res" and the book is remarkable for its innumerable changes of tempo. Everywhere the same laws of human behaviour apply. A person's downfall may come from the rapier thrust of the journalist or from the slowly strangling machinations of the law.
Father Goriot Honor de Balzac (1799 - 1850) One of Balzac's most popular works, set around 1815 during the re-ascendancy of the Bourbon kings following the defeat of Napoleon. Said to have been an inspiration to Charles Dickens and Henry James as well as others, the novel seeks to portray the realism of scenes and people. It is also a commentary upon the changing social strata and mores of the day.
Al lector: al comienzo de su carrera literaria recibi el autor; de manos de un amigo muerto hac a tiempo, el tema de esta obra, que m s tarde encontr en una antolog a a principios de este siglo; y, seg n sus conjeturas, se trata de una fantas a creada por Hoffmann de Berl n, publicada en alg n almanaque alem n y olvidada por sus editores. La Com die Humaine es lo suficientemente original para que el autor pueda confesar una copia inocente; como La Fontaine, ha tratado a su manera, y sin saberlo, un hecho ya contado. Esto no ha sido una broma como estaba de moda en 1830, poca en la que todo autor escrib a cosas atroces para complacer a las jovencitas.
