Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac, Vol. 4 of 25: The First Complete Translation Into English; Beatrix; The Atheist's Mass; Honorine; Colonel Chabert; The Commission in Lunacy; Pierre Grassou The key-interest of books, however, is always a minor, and sometimes a purely illegitimate one. It ought to be sufficient for us that the interest of the quartet, even if there had been no such persons as George Sand, Daniel Stern, Planche, and Liszt in the world, would be very great, and that it is well composed with and maintained by the accessory and auxiliary facts and characters. The picture of the Guenie household (which, after Balzac's usual fash ion, throws us back to Lee Chouans, while Beatrix as a Casteran, and thus a connection of the luckless Mlle. De Ver neuil, is also connected with that book) may seem to some to be a little too fully painted; it does not seem so to me. Whether, as hinted above, the character of Calyste has its childishness exaggerated or not, I must leave to readers to decide for themselves. His casting of Beatrix into the sea, besides being illegal, may seem to some extravagant; but it must be remembered that Balzac was originally writing when the heyday of the Romantic movement was by no means over, and when Melodrama was still pretty fully in fashion. It is difficult, too, to see what better contrast and uniting scheme for the contrasted worldlinesses of the four chief characters could have been devised; while the childishness itself is not inconceivable or unnatural in a boy brought up in a sort of household of romance by a heroic father and a doting mother, both utterly unworldly, his head being further fired by par ticipation in actual civil war on behalf of an injured princess, and his heart exposed without preparation to such dlf'ferent in uences as those of Mlle. Des Touches and of Beatrix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honoré De Balzac in Twenty-Five Volumes, Vol. 1 of 25: At the Sign of the Cat and Racket; The Sceaux Ball; The Purse; The Vendetta; Madame Firmiani; A Daughter of Eve; Letters of Two Brides IN the very interesting preface, dated July, 1842, which Balzac prefixed to the first collection of the Comédie Eu maine, he endeavors, naturally enough, to represent the di vision into Scenes de la Vie Parisienne, etc., as a rational and reasoned one. Although not quite arbitrary, it was of course to a great extent determined by considerations which were not those of design; and we did not require the positive testimony which we find in the Letters to tell us that in the author's view, as well as in our own, not a few of the stories might have been shifted over from one division to another, and have filled their place just as well in the other as in the one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honoré De Balzac (1799-1850) is generally credited as the inventor of the modern realistic novel. In more than ninety novels, he set forth French society and life as he saw it. He created a cast of over two thousand individual and identifiable characters, some of whom reappear in different novels. He organized his works into his masterpiece, La Comedie Humaine,which was the final result of his attempt to grasp the whole of society and experience into one varied but unified work. Richard Howard was born in Cleveland in 1929. He is the author of fourteen volumes of poetry and has published more than one hundred fifty translations from the French, including works by Gide, Stendhal, de Beauvoir, Baudelaire, and de Gaulle. Howard received a National Book Award for his translation of Fleurs du mal and a Pulitzer Prize for Untitled Subjects, a collection of poetry.
