Story
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.

Felix de Vandenesse, cadet rejeté d'une famille noble mais ruinée, tombe amoureux d'une femme magnifique, généreuse et honnête : la comtesse de Mortsauf. Mariée à un homme sombre, lunatique et mélancolique, mère de deux enfants dont l'aîné est gravement malade, elle trouve en Felix une échappatoire à ses ennuis familiaux et domestiques.

Story
Rastignac, resté seul, fit quelques pas vers le haut du cimetière et vit Paris tortueusement couché le long des deux rives de la Seine où commençaient à briller les lumières. Ses yeux s'attachèrent presque avidement entre la colonne Vendôme et le dôme des Invalides, là où vivait ce beau monde dans lequel il avait voulu pénétrer. Il lança sur cette ruche bourdonnante un regard qui semblait par avance pomper le miel, et dit ces mots grandioses : "À nous deux maintenant !"

Story
Deux récits enchâssés, au croisement du réalisme et du fantastique ; une nouvelle presque oubliée, que sa redécouverte classa parmi les plus grands textes de la littérature ; un jeu complexe d'imbrications entre sculpture, musique et littérature : Sarrasine est un des textes les plus séduisants de Balzac. Une jeune femme ne peut s'empêcher de remarquer le vieillard décharné, pareil à un spectre, qui hante un coin d'une brillante soirée parisienne.

Story
Honore de Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He was a keen observer of detail and presented in his stories an unfiltered representation of society. He is known for his multi-faceted characters. Even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Christ In Flanders is a story of faith..and a miracle.

Étudiant désargenté, Eugène de Rastignac est monté à Paris pour y faire son droit et y acquérir gloire et pouvoir. Il loge dans une pension miteuse et rencontre le père Goriot. Ancien négociant, il s'est ruiné pour ses filles qui, après leur mariage, ne lui témoignent qu'indifférence et mépris. Rastignac est alors confronté aux calculs sordides et à la noirceur du coeur humain. Il tire de cette expérience un sentiment de fatalité mais aussi une formidable volonté de conquête.

Balzac décrit, avec une cruauté réaliste rarement atteinte, la descente aux enfers du malheureux Sylvain Pons, prototype du parent pauvre, compositeur démodé, pique-assiette attendrissant, génial collectionneur de bric-à-brac, et ami du bon Allemand Schmucke. Autour de ces cœurs purs, il construit une impitoyable galerie de portraits : la portière Cibot, l'Auvergnat Rémonencq, l'avocat marron Fraisier, le "tableaumane" juif Elie Magus.

Story
Le destin tragique de la "Femme de trente ans" est aussi affreusement banal : Julie d'Aiglemont est mariée à un homme qu'elle n'aime pas. Malheureuse et délaissée, la seule façon pour elle de ne pas subir son mariage est de tomber amoureuse d'un autre. Mais de morts malencontreuses en amours contrariées, ses amants et enfants illégitimes ne lui permettront pas d'échapper réellement au contrat auquel elle n'a eu d'autre choix que de se soumettre. Cette sombre histoire, résolument moderne, est sans doute le roman le plus engagé de Balzac, qui dénonce avec force et justesse l'oppression qui pèse sur les femmes.

Story
Die Pension der Madame Vauquer vereint Menschen aus verschiedenen Schichten an ihrem Mittagstisch. Vor dem Hintergrund der Restauration entsteht ein gesellschaftliches Bild von Paris im beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Im Zentrum aber steht die Liebe eines Vaters zu seinen Töchtern, die keine Grenzen kennt. Dem nur scheinbaren Glück dieser Töchter, deren gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg er finanziert, opfert er alles, schließlich sogar sein Leben. Dabei steht Goriot für einen anachronistischen Idealismus, über den die neue Zeit erbarmungslos hinwegrollt.
