Book excerpt: One of the unifying themes that wends its way through Honore de Balzac's immense body of work is the corrupting danger of greed-and the often-absurd lengths to which people will go to secure material wealth. In the wonderful novel Rise and Fall of Cesar Birotteau, the title character starts out as a successful perfume-maker who is gradually lured to the dark side by the promise of ill-gotten gains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Fall of Cesar Birotteau: Grandeur Et Decadence De Cesar Birotteau The action and characters also are interesting, if not, on the whole, quite artistically probable. It will be observed that the here does a little underlie the constant objection of the Devil's Advocate to Balzac, that almost every one of his good characters is more or less of a fool. Even a keen man of business may, of course, be easily outwitted in a game of pure speculation - a proposition which we need not go to France, or examine the long list of crashes from the ficti tious terrains de la Madeleine to the real Panama, in order to establish. And a very keen man of business may be im prudently expensive in a combined fit of personal vanity and affection for his family. But it is a little of a stretch on the credulity of the reader to represent a plodding tradesman like Birotteau, who, as we are expressly told, had an old fashioned horror of paper, as not merely incurring large speculative obligations, but as stripping himself of every rap of ready money while exposing himself to an unusual demand for it. The picture of his going a-borrowing and a-sorrowing is drawn with great power and with much vivacity but here, too, his simplicity is a thought exaggerated. And Con stance's affection for, and fidelity to, an unattractive man, whom she saw to be little better than a fool, may be thought improbable in an ideal beauty with a clear head, while some may even say that ideal beauties are almost always extremely stupid. Yet, again, in Cesarine, Momus may point to that superficiality and vagueness which usually, if not always, mar Balzac's treatment of an honest girl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Fall of Ce sar Birotteau: Grandeur Et De cadence De Ce sar Birotteau Few books Balzac's have been the subject of more diverse judgment than "Cesar Birotteau." From the opinion of the unnamed solicitor, who told Madame Serville that it was an invaluable work to consult on bankruptcy, to that of M. Paul Lacroix (beloved of many as the Bibliophile Jacob), that it might be forgiven for the sake of "Le Pere Goriot" and the "Peau de Chagrin," there is not perhaps quite so great a distance as may appear; but other expressions, opposed not merely in form, but in fact, might probably be collected. As for the unfavorable division of these opinions there is no difficulty in discovering their causes; and there should be little, save in the case of blind partisans, in acknowledging their partial validity. Although the book opens with one of Balzac's most brilliant pieces of actual human observation - the description of the vague and half-delirious terror of waking from a bad dream - and though the subsequent conversation between Cesar and Constance has the merit of no vulgar curtain-lecture, it soon goes off into one of those endless retrospective narrations which are among the greatest blots on the Comedie, which utterly stop the action, and which, in the case of very many readers who are not gifted with the faculty of what may be called literary mountaineering, are very likely to cause the putting down of the book. To this initial difficulty has to be added the choking of the latter part with those bankruptcy details which did so charm the professional mind of Laure Balzac's learned friend, and which, for unprofessional minds, have something which is very much the reverse of charm.
