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: 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. Lost Illusions is one of the greatest novels in the rich procession of the Comedie humaine, Balzac's panoramic social and moral history of his times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Harlot High and Low is the story of Lucien de Rubempre -Handsome, budding poet Lucien Chardon- and his love affair with the beautiful Esther van Gobseck. Lucien's Faust-like damnation is the consequence of a corrupt and decadent society which feeds on intrigue and loose morals. The novel depicts a vast panorama of the different strata of the French society where unsavory characters populate the criminal underworld, as well as the middle and upper classes. When Vautrin -the nefarious puppet master- realizes that wealthy Baron de Nucingen is pitifully infatuated with Esther, he conspires to help Lucien to achieve success in the Parisian society at the expense of the old Baron. Instead, a series of tragic events trump Lucien's ambition."
