Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright, most famous for his collection of novels and plays, collectively called 'The Human Comedy'. His detailed observation of humanity and realistic depiction of society makes him one of the earliest representatives of realism in Europe. He was a master-creator of complex characters that often found themselves in ambiguous moral dilemmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Princess of Cleves and the Sanseverina, the Duchess of Langeais is one of the great female deities of our literature. It combines in her person the triple prestige of beauty, birth and misfortune. Born of illustrious blood, Antoinette de Navarreins was born in 1794, under the Terror, a very dark star that would be for her the mark of fate. Some twenty years later, separated from her abhorred husband imposed on her by an indifferent father, he was one of the worldly glories of the Faubourg Saint-Germain. But what is behind the icy coquetry of this aristocratic Celimene? And by what strange spell will Armand de Montriveau's incandescent passion in turn consume it?Like any true masterpiece, this "black novel" - originally entitled "Don't touch the axe" - is in part a sublimated autobiography, in other words the opposite of a key novel. "Only I know what's horrible about The Duchess of Langeais," Balzac told one of his relatives.This is why the work has kept its mystery and seductive power for more than a century and a half.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the theoretical affiliations between the most notable proponent of literary realism, Honoré de Balzac, and two understated but key representatives of the French New Wave, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. It argues that their film criticism, which gradually led to the establishment of a common aesthetic vision of cinema (the “politique des auteurs”), owes more to Balzac and the nineteenth-century novel than to any intellectual trend of the immediate post-war period. By considering the films of Rohmer and Rivette as an extension of their writings (essays, film reviews, scriptwriting, novels and interviews), this volume analyses the changing and sometimes opposed ways in which they applied Balzacian principles and themes to their cinematic practice. Essentially, it understands the exchange between art forms, past traditions and contemporaneous currents as the overlooked yet common thread that links these three authors, through their own re-appropriations of classical and romantic aesthetics in their explorations of modern French society. In doing so, this study provides further nuance to the “conservative” versus “progressist” rupture that is generally assumed between the two directors, and offers an innovative reading of The Human Comedy in the light of post-war ideas on authorship, film adaptation, classicism and modernism.
