Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quest of the Absolute and Other Stories But "The Quest of the Absolute" is, as has been said, a novel in itself. Taking minor points only, it is a masterpiece. That there is a certain parallelism, probably unconscious, between the way in which Balthazar Claes as unconsciously kills his wife and the way in which Monsieur Grandet kills his, is certainly no drawback to the book; for the repetition, if it is a repetition, only shows how genius can repeat. Indeed, there is the same demonstration contained in the same books in the representation of the diverse martyrdoms of Madame Claes and her daughter Marguerite, fatal in the former case, happily changed in the latter. In no book is Balzac's faculty of Dutch drawing, as far as scenes and details go, more brilliantly shown; in none are the minor characters - from the famulus Le Mulquinier, with his fatal belief in his master's madness, downwards - better; while Marguerite Claes and her mother, especially Marguerite, are by common consent to be ranked among Balzac's greatest triumphs in portraying "honest women." But these things, though they illustrate the general principle that the presence of a great central interest and figure will radiate greatness and interest on its surroundings, would contribute comparatively little to the effect of the book if it were not for the seeker after the absolute himself. Nowhere, perhaps, has the hopeless tyranny of the fixed idea, the ferocious (not exactly selfish) absorption in the pursuit of a craze, been portrayed with quite the same power as here. And we know and feel that the energy, the fire, the perfection of the handling are due to sympathy - that Balzac a few generations earlier would have sought the Philosopher's Stone with the same desperate energy as Balthazar.

Good heavens if only I had a July sun, the experiment would be over by this time.' He ran his fingers through his hair, the tears came into his eyes, and he dropped into an old cane-seated chair. ' That is quite right, sir, ' said Lemulquinier. ' It is all the fault of that rascally sun that won't shine enough, the lazy beggar.' Neither master nor man seemed to remember Marguerite's presence. ' Leave us, Mulquinier, ' she said. ' Ah ' cried Claes, ' I have it We will try a new experiment.' ' Father, never mind the experiments now, ' said the young girl when they were alone. ' Here is a demand for a hundred thousand francs, and we have not a farthing. Your honour is involved; you must come down and leave the laboratory. What will become of you if you are imprisoned ? Shall your white hair and the name of Claes be soiled with the disgrace of bankruptcy ? It shall not be, I will not have it, I will find strength to combat your madness; it would be dreadful to see you wanting bread in your old age. Open your eyes to our position; come to your senses at last ' ' Madness ' cried Balthazar, rising to his feet. A light shone in the eyes he fixed on his daughter's face, ' Madness ' There was something so majestic in his manner as he repeated the word that his daughter trembled. He folded his arms. ' Ah your mother would never have uttered that word, ' he went on. ' She did not shut her eyes to the importance of my researches; she studied science that she might understand me; she saw that I was working for humanity, that there was 'or sordid in me.
