Download or read book Honore de Balzac written by Mary F. Sandars and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac: His Life and Writings Although it was published nine years ago, Miss Mary F. Sandars's "Balzac" remains a valuable piece of work, and I am extremely glad that it has been thought advisable to reproduce it in a new shape. It is a useful book for many reasons. In the first place it gives, without too lengthy criticism of particular works of Balzac, a most readable account of a complicated and interesting life. In the next place it is based on those "Lettres a I'Etrangere" which Balzac wrote to his Polish friend Madame Hanska, in the absence of which we have no means of ascertaining the inner life of the distinguished author. Books like those of Sir Frederick Wedmore in the "Great Writers" Series, or Miss Wormeley's Memoir, have become out of date. Mr. Saintsbury's various critical notices retain their original value, but, of course, the real source of much of our present knowledge is due to the collections of M. de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul together with various pamphlets replete with all the conscientious zeal of a thoroughgoing admirer. As Miss Sandars herself notes, Dr. George Brandes has written some valuable chapters in one of the volumes of his "Main Currents of Nineteenth-Century Literature," which, however, do not deal with the details of the novelist's life, but rather with the position which he holds in modern literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Honore De Balzac, Vol. 19: Seraphita; Jesus Christ in Flanders; The Exiles; Memoir IT is highly probable that Seraphita cost its author more than any other of his intellectual offspring. The evidence of this appears in his correspondence. Writing to Madame Zulma Garrand in January, 1834, he says, Seraphita is a work more severe than any other upon the writer What he thought of it may be gathered from another passage in the same letter, in which he speaks of it as a work as much beyond Louis Lam bert' as Louis Lambert' is beyond Gaudissart.' As he proceeded with it his labor became more intense. In March, 1835, writing to the Duchesse de Castries, he says: The toil upon this work has been crushing and terrible. I have passed, and must still pass, days and nights upon it. I compose, decompose, and recom pose it. He did not delude himself as to the kind of reception it was likely to encounter: In a few days, he Observes, all will have been said. Either I shall have won fame or the Parisians will have failed to understand me. And inasmuch as, with them, mockery commonly takes the place of understanding, I can hope only for a remote and tardy success. Eventually appre ciation will come, and at once here and there.

Download or read book Honore De Balzac Classic Reprint written by Albert Keim and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac Of all books perhaps the one best designed for training the mind and forming the character is "Plutarch." The lives of great men are object-lessons. They teach effort, devotion, industry, heroism and sacrifice. Even one who confines his reading solely to biographies of thinkers, writers, inventors, poets of the spirit or poets of science, will in a short time have acquired an understanding of the whole History of Humanity. And what novel or what drama could be compared to such a history? Accurate biographies record narratives which no romancer's imagination could hope to rival. Researches, sufferings, labors, triumphs, agonies and disasters, the defeats of destiny, glory, which is the "sunlight of the dead," illuminating the past, whether fortunate or tragic, - such is what the lives of Great Men reveal to us, or, if the phrase be allowed, paint for us in a series of fascinating and dramatic pictures.

He had obtained the privilege of submitting his sonnets to the journalist, and relied upon his pompous good will to procure him a publisher or a position on the newspaper. On his return, Lucien saw Daniel in a corner of the restaurant, leaning on his elbows and gazing at him with a melancholy expression; but, being devoured by want and impelled by am bition, he pretended not to see his brother of the club and followed Lousteau.
