Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do good people suffer? This is the question Honoré de Balzac poses in 'The Hated Son', set in Normandy during the eighth war of religion between Catholics and Protestant Huguenots. The kind and gentle Jeanne de Saint-Savin loves her Huguenot cousin but has to marry the old and cruel Royalist count d'Herouville in order to save her lover's life. The couple has a son, who promises to be a ray of light in Jeanne's unhappy life. But darkness descends when the count accuses her of infidelity and banishes Etienne from his castle, to be brought up by fishermen. When the count's older son and sole heir dies, the rejected son is the only one alive to continue the family line and inherit the title. Etienne is back in the game. But will he play by the rules set by his father who rejected him? Other great reads that feature the theme of rejection are Jane Austen's 'Persuasion' and 'Much Ado About Nothing' by William Shakespeare. Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright, most famous for a sequence of novels, collectively called 'The Human Comedy'. His signature style was a warts-and-all representation of post-Napoleonic French life, rich in detail and featuring complex, unfiltered characters. The style means Balzac is regarded as one of the pioneers of European literary realism. He is named as an influence on writers including Emile Zola, Henry James, Charles Dickens, and Gustave Flaubert. The first novel he published under his own name was 'Les Chouans' in 1829. In 1834 he hit upon the idea of grouping his novels together to record all of society. The result, over a period of years, was 'The Human Comedy', which comprised three categories: 'Analytic Studies'; 'Philosophical Studies'; and 'Studies of Manners'.

Book excerpt: CHAPTER I. A BEDROOM OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY On a winter's night, about two in the morning, the Comtesse Jeanne d'Herouville felt such violent pains that in spite of her inexperience, she was conscious of an approaching confinement; and the instinct which makes us hope for ease in a change of posture induced her to sit up in her bed, either to study the nature of these new sufferings, or to reflect on her situation. She was a prey to cruel fears,—caused less by the dread of a first lying-in, which terrifies most women, than by certain dangers which awaited her child. In order not to awaken her husband who was sleeping beside her, the poor woman moved with precautions which her intense terror made as minute as those of a prisoner endeavoring to escape. Though the pains became more and more severe, she ceased to feel them, so completely did she concentrate her own strength on the painful effort of resting her two moist hands on the pillow and so turning her suffering body from a posture in which she could find no ease. At the slightest rustling of the huge green silk coverlet, under which she had slept but little since her marriage, she stopped as though she had rung a bell. Forced to watch the count, she divided her attention between the folds of the rustling stuff and a large swarthy face, the moustache of which was brushing her shoulder. When some noisier breath than usual left her husband's lips, she was filled with a sudden terror that revived the color driven from her cheeks by her double anguish. The prisoner reached the prison door in the dead of night and trying to noiselessly turn the key in a pitiless lock, was never more timidly bold.

Book excerpt: Honoré de Balzac; born Honoré Balzac 20 May 1799 - 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing 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 multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, and Henry James, and filmmakers François Truffaut and Jacques Rivette.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A merciless Breton lord does not want the premature child of seven months, therefore failed, that his wife Jeanne will bring into the world. He decides to kill this damned child and calls a doctor, half midwife, half executioner, for this purpose. Anodyne appearance of this historical account, bordering on small reviews from 1830. But it is the essential Balzac that engages in this novel of the past located in 1594, at the time when Henry IV consolidated his throne, a story of strange beauty. A blend of extreme sweetness, perversity and loving tenderness.But the doctor is a good guy. He diverts the father from the criminal project: "Spare yourself a crime, this child will not live" If you are not dead, Etienne, the cursed child is driven out of the father's house.This novel is worth reading. It is current. It will make the cursed children of today think, those whom our societies exclude in our cities, those to whom our precious national identity is denied. Illegitimate children.By the way, what is the place in each of us of the cursed? Is it sometimes against her that we fight? The cursed one is not only the other, it is also us.Publication: 1831Category(ies): Fiction, News
