Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Correspondence of Honoré De Balzac, Vol. 2 of 2: With a Memoir by His Sister Madame De Surville I cannot preach any longer, for I must go to work; I have so much to do! In the space of a month I have to get through what would take others a year and more. I talk to you about myself, because I hope you will talk to me only of yourself. We can thus exchange our thoughts. I went out yesterday on urgent business, and I saw my two caricatures by Dantan. Send to Susse for them. You will tell me if they are not droll. In a few days I am to sit to an artist, who has asked me to let him take my portrait. I have had the weakness to consent. Is not all this very little? It seems still more so when one has just been raised to heaven among the mystics. That great idea of Woman promised in the preface, which you find so attractive, is half realised. It is called Le Lys dans la Vallée.' Perhaps I deceive myself, but I imagine it will draw forth many tears. I have surprised myself in tears whilst writing it. This work will be the last of the Etudes philosophiques.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac, Vol. 2 Le Pere Goriot perhaps deserves to be ranked as that one of Balzac's novels which has united the greatest number of suffrages, and which exhibits his peculiar merits, not indeed without any of Ins faults, but with the merits in eminent, and the faults not in glaring, degree. It was written (the preface is dated 1834) at the time when his genius was at its very height, when it had completely burst the strange shell which had so long enveloped and cramped it, when the scheme of the Comedie Humaine was not quite finally settled (it never was that), but elaborated to a very considerable extent, when the author had already acquired most of the knowledge of the actual world which he possessed, and when his physical powers were as yet unimpaired by his enormous labor and his reckless disregard of "burning the candle at both ends." Although it exhibits, like nearly all his work, the complication of interest and scheme which was almost a necessity to him, that complication is kept within reasonable bounds, and managed with wonderful address. The history of Goriot and his daughters, the fortunes of Eugene de Rastignac, and the mysterious personality and operations of Vautrin, not only all receive due and unperplexed development, but work upon each other with that correspondence and interdependence which form the rarest gift of the novelist, and which, when present, too commonly have attached to them the curse of over-minuteness and complexity. No piece of Balzac's Dutch painting is worked out with such marvelous minuteness as the Pension Vauquer, and hardly any book of his has more lifelike studies of character. It would, however, not be difficult to find books with an almost, if not quite, equal accumulation of attractions, which have somehow failed to make the mark that has been made by Le Pere Goriot. And the practiced critic of novels knows perfectly well why this is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Honore De Balzac, Vol. 2 According to the respective dates of their production, the drama and the comedy included in this volume are the last ones that came from the pen of the indefatigable novelist. In fact, Balzac never witnessed the "first night" of Mercadet, which was presented at the Theatre du Gymnase Dramatique, on August 24, 1851, i. e., just one year and six days after the death of the great Frenchman. The reader will agree with the professional critics in recognizing, in both these plays, qualities that are lacking, to a certain degree, in the three dramatic efforts contained in Volume I. The action is more compact, the dialogue quicker and livelier, and the climaxes a great deal more satisfactory than in Quinola's Resources, for example. It seems as if the master had realized, to some extent, his deficiencies as a playwright and had forced himself, with his usual energy, to obey more closely the stem requirements of the stage. In our time of "theatre populaire" and "theatre naturaliste" he would have met with a very different welcome. The influence of Scribe and his imitators, all-powerful in those days, has so completely vanished from French literary circles that it seems to have never existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two very intelligent, very idealistic young women leave the convent school where they became the fastest of friends to return to their families and embark on their new lives. For Renée de Maucombe, this means an arranged marriage with a country gentleman of Provence, a fine if slightly dull man for whom she feels admiration but nothing more. Meanwhile, Louise de Chaulieu makes for her family’s house in Paris, intent on enjoying her freedom to the fullest: glittering balls, the opera, and above all, she devoutly hopes, the torments and ecstasies of true love and passion. What will come of these very different lives? Despite Honoré de Balzac’s title, these aren’t memoirs; rather, this is an epistolary novel. For some ten years, these two will—enthusiastically if not always faithfully—keep up their correspondence, obeying their vow to tell each other every tiny detail of their strange new lives, comparing their destinies, defending and sometimes bemoaning their choices, detailing the many changes, personal and social, that they undergo. As Balzac writes, “Renée is reason...Louise is wildness...and both will lose.” Balzac being Balzac, he seems to argue for the virtues of one of these lives over the other; but Balzac being Balzac, that argument remains profoundly ambiguous. “I would,” he once wrote, “rather be killed by Louise than live a long life with Renée.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac, Vol. 2: First Time Completely Translated Into English, Physiology of Marriage, Petty Worries of Conjugal Life Of all the disasters which civil war can bring upon a country, the greatest is the appeal which one or other of the parties always makes to the foreigner. Unfortunately, we are forced to confess that every woman commits this offence, for her lover is only the leader of her troops, and I do not know that he can be said to belong to her family, unless he hap pens to be her cousin. This Meditation, therefore, has for its object to examine the measure of assistance which each of the different powers possessed of in uence over human life can afford your wife, or, better still, the strata gems she will employ to arm them against you. Two persons united in marriage are subject to the laws of religion and society; to the laws of private life, and, for their health, to the laws of medicine; we shall divide this Meditation, therefore, into six sections.
