Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Athiest's Mass, Honore de Balzac's classic story, places us in the world of early 19th century medicine and surgery, discussing how one practitioner of such has devised his very own mass. Published in the 1830s, at a time when medical advancements were proceeding apace, Balzac's fictional tale places us in a surgery where the operations fueling scientific progress occurred. The physician Bianchon is ostensibly an atheist, in keeping with the community of like-minded doctors and surgeons. However, Bianchon convenes a secret mass in his surgery once a week. The mystery surrounding this event comprises the plot, which to some extent immerses the reader in the universe of the 19th century city - one of great poverty and hardship for the great majority of people. Noteworthy for its respectful treatment of both science and religion, this book by Balzac is of its time. However offers a good glimpse at where the two contrasting disciplines stood, while giving us an insightful introduction to the reflective mind of the author who - rather than preach - allows the reader to reach his own conclusions.

Book excerpt: The Atheists Mass By Honore De Balzac Translated by Clara Bell Honore de Balzac, 20 May 1799 - 18 August 1850, was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories and novels collectively entitled La Comedie humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the 1815 fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Due to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multifaceted characters, who are morally ambiguous. His writing influenced many subsequent novelists such as Marcel Proust, Emile Zola, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, ECa de Queiros, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustave Flaubert, Benito Perez Galdos, Marie Corelli, Henry James, William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino, and philosophers such as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx. Many of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics.
