Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Comedie Humaine of Honore De Balzac: A Woman of Thirty; Massimilla Doni; Honorine Early in the month of April, 1813, there came a Sunday morning that promised one of those fine days when the Parisians, for the first time in the year, see their sidewalks without mud and their sky without clouds. Just before noon a cabriolet drawn by two high-stepping horses turned into rue de Rivoli from rue de Castiglione, and stopped behind several other carriages standing in front of the newly opened gateway in the centre of the Terrasse des Feuillants. This light vehicle was driven by a man of careworn and sickly aspect; the sparse grizzled hair hardly covered his yellow skull and caused him to look prematurely old. He threw the reins to the mounted servant who followed the carriage, and alighted, to take in his arms a young girl whose dainty beauty attracted the attention of the idlers walking on the terrace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Comedie Humaine by Honore De Balzac, Vol. 21: Now for the First Time Completely Translated Into English; Beatrix Compelled to abandon their active life, these heads became arms. The arm, deprived of nourishment, dries up and withers. During the last thirty years, however, these portraits of bygone ages are begin ning to be effaced and are becoming rare. By work ing for the masses, modern industrial appliances are fast supplanting the creations of old-fashioned skill, whose labors concerned the consumer as well as the artisan individually. We have products now, we no longer have works. The monumental structures count for half in these retrospective phenomena. But from the standpoint of modern industry, the stone quarries, the saltpetre mines and the cotton factories are monumental structures. A few years more and these cities of long ago will be transformed and will be heard of no more except in literary iconography of this sort.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Comedie Humaine of Honore De Balzac: The Muse of the Department; A Prince of Bohemia; A Man of Business; The Girl With Golden Eyes; Sarrasine Except in that part of Sancerre that occupies the plateau, the streets are more or less declivitous, and the town is surrounded by s10pes called the Grand Ram parts, a name which sufficiently describes the main streets of the town. Beyond these slopes lies a belt of vineyards. Vine-growing is the principal industry, and wine the principal article of commerce of the district, which boasts of several native brands, with much bou quet, and so like the Burgundian product that untrained palates in Paris are sometimes deceived. Thus San cerre finds in Parisian wine-shops a quick market, which, indeed, is essential for wines that cannot be kept more than seven or eight years.

According to cer tain fair-minded military men, this intoxication of Victory bore a striking resemblance to pillage, though the maréchal promptly repressed it.

Download or read book Repertory of the Comedie Humaine Classic Reprint written by Anatole Cerfberr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Repertory of the Comedie Humaine A slight confusion may arise in the use of the Repertory on account of the subdivision of titles. This is the fault neither of Messieurs Cerfberr and Christophe nor of the trans lator, but of Balzac himself, who was continually changing titles, dividing and subdividing stories, and revamping and working other changes in his books. Cousin Betty and Cousin Pons were placed together by him under the general title of Poor Relations. Being separate stories, we have retained the separate titles. Similarly, the three divisions of Lost Illusions were never published together until 1843 in the first complete edition of the Comedie; before assuming final shape its parts had received several different titles. In the present text the editor has deemed it best to retain two of the parts under Lost Illusions, while the third, which pre sents a separate Rubempre episode, is given as A Distin guished Provincial at Paris. The three parts of The T hir teen - Ferragus, The Duchesse de Langeais, and The Girl with the Golden Eyes - are given under the general title. The fourth part of Scenes from a Courtesan's Life, Vautrin's Last Avatar, which until the Edition Definitive had been pub lished separately, is here merged into its final place. But the three parts of The Celibates - Pierrette, The Vicar of Tours and A Bachelor's Establishment, being detached, are given separate ly. Other minor instances occur, but should be readilv cleared Up by reference to the Indices, also to the General Introduc tion given elsewhere.

Download or read book Honor de Balzac The Complete Human Comedy Cycle 100 Works Book Center written by Honoré de Balzac and published by Oregan Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 17846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Comedy (French: La Comédie Humaine) is the title of Honoré de Balzac's multi-volume collection of interlinked novels and stories depicting French society in the period of the Restoration (1815-1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848). It consists of 91 finished works (stories, novels or analytical essays) and 46 unfinished works (some of which exist only as titles). It does not include Balzac's five theatrical plays or his collection of humorous tales, the "Contes drolatiques" (1832–37). The title of the series is usually considered an allusion to Dante's Divine Comedy; while Ferdinand Brunetière, the famous French literary critic, suggests that it may stem from poems by Alfred de Musset or Alfred de Vigny. While Balzac sought the comprehensive scope of Dante, his title indicates the worldly, human concerns of a realist novelist. The stories are placed in a variety of settings, with characters reappearing in multiple stories. Notable works included in the 'Human Comedy': - The Purse - Domestic Bliss - The Imaginary Mistress - A Daughter Of Eve - Honorine - Beatrix - Gobseck - A Woman Of Thirty - Old Goriot (Father Goriot) - Colonel Chabert - A Marriage Contract - Another Study Of Woman - Ursule Mirouet - Eugenie Grandet - The Vicar Of Tours - The Illustrious Gaudissart - Cesar Birotteau - Sarrasine - Cousin Bette (Cousin Betty) - The Girl With The Golden Eyes - The Chouans - Z.
