Story2
Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society.

Story0
Lors d'un trajet de Paris à Moulins, deux jeunes gens subissent un accident de voiture. L'un d'eux mourra écrasé, l'autre recevra sa confidence. Le vivant sera ainsi le messager de la mort auprès de la maîtresse du défunt, la jeune et désirable comtesse de Montpersan, mariée à un gentilhomme campagnard et embourgeoisé (en somme le mari trompé idéal). Mais non content d'apprendre à cette femme que son amant est décédé, notre « messager » semble pour le moins désireux de prendre la place du défunt… Rien ne se dit vraiment dans cette histoire où l'essentiel est à lire entre les lignes.

Story2
Honoré de Balzac uses his classic style of detail to describe a most controversial setting in his novel Le Pere Goriot. The story takes place in Paris just after the fall of Napoleon in 1819. The story focuses on three characters, Rastignac, a student who wants to try and make it big in the capital, Vautrin, an interesting and funny character who is also quite mysterious, and the main character, Goriot, that carries a heavy burden that only a loving parent would endure.

Autrefois maire de Saumur, il fait maintenant fructifier sa grande fortune tout en faisant croire à sa femme et à sa fille qu'ils ne sont pas bien riches. Les habitants de Saumur, plus au courant de la fortune du père Grandet, voient en sa fille Eugénie le plus beau parti de la ville et la courtisent donc ardemment.

In the brutal Prussian winter of 1807, Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée suffered massive losses to the Russians in the Battle of Eylau. Many thousands died. Young Colonel Chabert falls heroically, his actions having turned the tide of the battle, but he is buried anonymously on the battlefield in a mass grave. Incredibly, he is alive, but severely injured, and digs himself out. On his eventual return to Paris, he finds his wife, the beautiful and ambitious Rosine, now remarried, and his fortune gone.

Como dijo Oscar Wilde, el siglo XIX es un invento de Balzac. Dentro de La comedia humana, el vasto ciclo de su novelística, Eugénie Grandet ocupa un lugar cenital. La historia del avaro Grandet y de su hija Eugénie, que vive desgarrada entre la tiranía de su padre y su amor por un joven parisino, compone el mejor retrato coral de la sociedad francesa de la época, a la vez que presenta a algunos de los personajes más perfectos de la historia de la literatura.

“Sonradan şark şiirinin ruhumda ışıması gibi birdenbire parlayan bir kadın kokusu aldım. Yanımda oturan kadına baktım ve gözlerimi bu eğlenceden de çok kamaştırdı; birdenbire tüm şenliğim o oldu. Daha önceki yaşamımı iyi anladıysanız, o anda kalbimden fışkıran duyguları da tahmin edebilirsiniz. Okşayabilmek için deliye döndüğüm bu ak ve yuvarlak omuzlara takıldı gözlerim; sanki ilk kez çıplak kalmış gibi hafifçe pembeleşmişlerdi. Pek edepli, adeta bir ruhu olan ve ışıkta ipekli bir kumaş gibi parlayan saten bir teni vardı bu omuzların. Dinlemek için çok iyi bir seçim.

Ce récit écrit en 1829 sera placé, plus tard, par Balzac en ouverture de la Comédie humaine. On y retrouve la trame de ce que seront les romans la composant et l’on y croise déjà les héros des autres épisodes. Tout y préfigure la grande oeuvre de Balzac : les descriptions minutieuses, l’analyse profonde des sentiments, l’histoire dramatique. C’est, en ces quelques pages, une miniature parfaite de tout ce qui suivra.

In diesem Dreiteiler, der wiederum Teil der monumentalen "comédie humaine" ist, beschreibt Honoré de Balzac die Irrungen und Wirrungen eines Dichters aus der Provinz in Paris. Das Frankreich der bourbonischen Restauration und seine oft bizarre Spaltung zwischen Paris und der Provinz wird in helles Licht getaucht. Der Dichter Lucien Chardon mit all seinen Begabungen erfährt einen Charaktertest, in dem klar wird, dass Ehrgeiz ohne eine entsprechende Bereitschaft zu demütiger Arbeit kein Erfolg beschieden sein kann.
