Sinopsis

''Balzac'' by Frederick Lawton is a biography of the French novelist and playwright, Honor????? de Balzac. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Balzac?s life, from his childhood and early years as a struggling writer to his eventual success as one of the most influential literary figures of the 19th century. The author delves into Balzac?s personal life, including his tumultuous relationships with women and his struggles with debt and addiction. Lawton also explores Balzac?s literary legacy, analyzing his major works and their impact on French literature and culture. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most important writers of the 19th century.One has little doubt in deciding that, of the two spurs which goaded Balzac?s labours, his desire for wealth acted more persistently and energetically than his desire for glory. In his conversations, in his correspondence, money was the eternal theme, in his novels it is almost always the hinge on which the interest, whether of character, plot, or passion, depends. Money was his obsession, day and night, and, in his dormant visions, it must have loomed largely.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world?s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
