Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered a founder of the realistic school of fiction, prolific French novelist Honor� de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote in meticulous detail, depicting ordinary and undistinguished lives in tales that nevertheless abounded in melodramatic plots and violent passions. This convenient dual-language volume includes six of Balzac's most highly regarded short stories: "An Episode During the Terror," a deftly told tale contrasting material poverty with spiritual riches; "A Passion in the Desert," inspired by Balzac's interest in the Near East and his fascination with Napoleon; "The Revolutionary Conscript," a critique of provincial life; "The Forsaken Woman," an intriguing study of female psychology and a how-to seduction manual; "The Unknown Masterpiece," which focuses on the conflict between an artist's commitment to his work and his relationship with the woman who loves him; and "Facino Cane," a tale of a destitute blind man's dreams of restoring his former wealth and power. Stanley Appelbaum has provided excellent, line-for-line English translations of the text, as well as an informative introduction and notes related to each story. This superb selection of tales by one of the world's great writers of fiction is sure to delight students and devotees of French language and literature.

Download or read book Balzac s Lives written by Peter Brooks and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the mind of French literary giant Honoré de Balzac through a study of nine of his greatest characters and the novels they inhabit. Balzac's Lives illuminates the writer's life, era, and work in a completely original way. Balzac, more than anyone, invented the nineteenth-century novel, and Oscar Wilde went so far as to say that Balzac had invented the nineteenth century. But it was above all through the wonderful, unforgettable, extravagant characters that Balzac dreamed up and made flesh—entrepreneurs, bankers, inventors, industrialists, poets, artists, bohemians of both sexes, journalists, aristocrats, politicians, prostitutes—that he brought to life the dynamic forces of an era that ushered in our own. Peter Brooks’s Balzac’s Lives is a vivid and searching portrait of a great novelist as revealed through the fictional lives he imagined.

Book excerpt: "Gambara" by Honore de Balzac is a compelling novella that delves into the psyche of the eponymous protagonist, the proficient however tragic Italian composer Paolo Gambara. Set in the vibrant creative and cultural milieu of nineteenth-century Paris, the narrative explores the thin line among genius and insanity. Gambara, once a celebrated composer, is now residing in obscurity and poverty. His existence takes a dramatic turn when he becomes infatuated with a beautiful singer, Marianna, and pours all his innovative power into composing an opera in her honor. However, Gambara's grand creative aims are marred with the aid of his deteriorating mental kingdom. As the novella unfolds, Balzac skillfully weaves a narrative that intertwines the nation-states of song, love, and insanity. The character of Gambara will become a symbol of the tortured artist, grappling with the complexities of notion and the harsh realities of existence. The tale is a poignant exploration of the adverse electricity of unrequited love and the exceptional line among innovative brilliance and the descent into madness. "Gambara" stands as a testament to Balzac's capability to dissect the human situation and the tumultuous intersection of artistic passion and personal tragedy.
