Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans The first idea of the human comedy came to me like a dream, an impossible project which I wel comed and then allowed to escape; it was a charm ing fancy that showed its smiling face but for an in stant, and spreading its wings fluttered back into a visionary heaven. Still, fancy often changes into fact and its tyrannical commands cannot be resisted. The idea occurred to me, in consequence of a com parison between the human and animal kingdoms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes of Parisian Life, Vol. 1: Splendors and Miseries In giving the title of the human comedy to a work in which I have been engaged for nearly thir teen years, I feel it necessary to give a brief explana tion of its origin, scope and plan, and to attempt this as impartially as if it had no personal interest for me. This is not so difficult as the public may imagine. There are few works that contribute much to a man's vanity, and much labor adds to his share of modesty. This observation accounts for the careful examina tion that Corneille, Moliere and other great authors made of their own compositions, and if it is impossi ble for us to equal their lofty conceptions, we may at least strive to imitate them in this characteristic. The first idea of the human comedy came to me like a dream, an impossible project which I wel corned and then allowed to escape; it was a charm ing fancy that showed its smiling face but for an in stant, and spreading its wings uttered back into a visionary heaven. Still, fancy often changes into fact and its tyrannical commands cannot be resisted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Handsome would-be poet Lucien Chardon is poor and naive, but highly ambitious. Failing to make his name in his dull provincial hometown, he is taken up by a patroness, the captivating married woman Madame de Bargeton, and prepares to forge his way in the glamorous beau monde of Paris. But Lucien has entered a world far more dangerous than he realized, as Madame de Bargeton's reputation becomes compromised and the fickle, venomous denizens of the courts and salons conspire to keep him out of their ranks. Lucien eventually learns that, wherever he goes, talent counts for nothing in comparison to money, intrigue and unscrupulousness.
