Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac IF it be true of Moliere that he was not only the greatest of comic authors, but comedy itself, it may be said of Balzac that he was not only the greatest, the most fertile and diverse of our novelists, but the novel itself; and the object of the present volume is to show that in saying this I say nothing but the ah solute and exact truth. For this reason the reader is requested not to seek in the follow ing pages a biography of Honore de Balzac, or what to-day goes by that name - infor mation about his origin, anecdotes of his college days, the tittle-tattle of his love-affairs, and the tedious narrative of his quarrels with newspapers or publishers - but solely a study of his work: a study in which, of course, I do not refrain from speaking, when necessary, of the man and of the romance of his life, but Wherein I wish especially to define, to ex plain, and to characterise his work - which, in my opinion, would remain the same if Balzac, instead of being born in Tours, had been born, for instance, in Castelnaudary, and if, in place of studying law, he had studied medicine.

Download or read book Honor De Balzac Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by George Saintsbury and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 522 pages. 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 The Works of Honore De Balzac, Vol. 3: Two Young Married Women; A Start in Life; Vendetta; Study of a Woman; The Message Tms dedication, dear George, can add nothing to the glory of your name, which will cast its magic lustre on my book; but in making it there is neither modesty nor self-interest on my part. I desire to bear testimony to the true friendship between us; which continues unchanged in Spite of travels and absence, - in Spite, too, of our mutual hard work and the maliciousness of the world. This feeling will doubtless never change. The procession of friendly names which accom pany my books mingle pleasure with the pain and toil their great number causes me; for they are not written without pain and difficulty, to say nothing of the reproach now cast upon me for what is called my alarming fecundity, - as if the world which poses before me were not more fecund stilli Would it not be a fine thing, George, if some antiquary of long past literatures should find in that procession none but noble names, true hearts, pure and sacred friendships, the glories of this century? Ought I not to show myself prouder of that great and certain happiness than of other successes which are not indisputable? To one who knows you well it must ever be a great happiness to be allowed to call'himself, as I do here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

To treat these questions, emphasizing the fact that Balzac was haunted throughout his life by the desire for dramatic success, and that at no time was his mind entirely free of theatrical projects, is the purpose Of this study.

Download or read book The Law and Lawyers of Honor De Balzac written by John Marshall Gest and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and Lawyers of Honore De Balzac: A Paper The connection between Literature and Law, while not always apparent to him who reads the first without some knowledge of the second, is nevertheless frequent and close. The history of law is the history of civilization, and law itself is only the blessed tie that binds human society together. The novel is the picture of society, and must either implicitly or explicitly be conditioned by the law of its time, just as it must reflect social conventions and customs. A great many great authors have studied law, though comparatively few of them have known how to use their knowledge. The novels of Dickens and Scott owe much of their humor and interest to their authors' skilful use of their information, but neither Dickens nor Scott surpassed Balzac in either information or skill. Brilliant writers, like cut diamonds, are many sided. Balzac's characters, as portrayed in his novels, included men and women of every walk of life, of every profession and occupation, of every grade of education, of every variation of virtue and vice. He played upon a harp of a thousand strings, though not all the spirits of just men made perfect, and in so doing he, more than any other novelist, has disclosed in his writings his own views upon every phase of the social organism.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honore De Balzac and His Figures of Speech It has further been necessary to limit the kind of figures studied. As has already been indicated, the term figure is used in its most current acceptation, that is as including similes and metaphors, or in other words any expressed or implied comparison between objects or acts which belong to different categories or exist under different circumstances. If an inanimate object or a lower order of life is compared to man, we have a special form personification. The other rhetorical figures such such as apostrophe, interrogation, and even metonomy and synecdoche, are mere modes of expression or linguistic conveniences. Hyperbole and antithesis do express a certain attitude of mind, and we find them frequently employed by Balzac, but the principle back of the creation of the individual figures of either type is always the same, and nothing could be gained by a detailed study the differ ence between two hyperboles for instance is merely one of degree.

Book excerpt: Esther Happy; or, How a Courtesan Can LoveIn 1824, at the last opera ball of the season, several masks were struck by the beauty of a youth who was wandering about the passages and greenroom with the air of a man in search of a woman kept at home by unexpected circumstances. The secret of this behavior, now dilatory and again hurried, is known only to old women and to certain experienced loungers. In this immense assembly the crowd does not trouble itself much to watch the crowd; each one's interest is impassioned, and even idlers are preoccupied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Honore De Balzac, Vol. 1: Vautrin; Quinola's Resources; Pamela Giraud Nor do they belong to what might be called the incubating period of his talent, to those long years of dire poverty - from 1822 to 1829 - when the struggling young author was issuing under various noms de plume the many stories included since among the novels of his youth. No, the dramatic works of Balzac all date from the hey day of the prolific author's life - h'om 1838 to 1850, the year of his death. Thus does fall to the ground the unjust assertion made by people who never perused these plays that they are but inferior productions of either an undeveloped or an exhausted writer. Finally an explanation is in order as to the comparative lack of success of these productions on the stage, as it has had evidently a serious influence on the decision of foreign publishers not to include them in their sets of translations.
