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: 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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Honoré De Balzac, Vol. 2: Beatrix; Fame and Sorrow; Colonel Chabert; The Atheists Mass; The Purse; La Granadiere For the last thirty years, however, these pictures Of ancient times are beginning to fade and disappear. Modern industry, working for the masses, goes on de stroying the creations Of ancient art, the works of which were once as personal to the consumer as to the artisan. Nowadays we have products, we no longer have works. Public buildings, monuments of the past, count for much in the phenomena Of retrospection but the monuments of modern industry are freestone quarries, saltpetre mines, cotton factories. A few more years and even these old cities will be trans formed and seen no more except in the pages Of this iconography.
