About this ebook

Une édition de référence des Chouans d’Honoré de Balzac, spécialement conçue pour la lecture sur les supports numériques.

« Simplement vêtu comme un Chouan, le Gars portait son tromblon en bandoulière derrière sa peau de bique, et, sans la grâce de ses mouvements, il aurait été méconnaissable. Marie se retira précipitamment dans la cabane, en obéissant à l’une de ces déterminations instinctives aussi peu explicables que l’est la peur ; mais bientôt le jeune chef fut à deux pas d’elle devant la cheminée, où brillait un feu clair et animé. Tous deux se trouvèrent sans voix, craignirent de se regarder, ou de faire un mouvement. Une même espérance unissait leur pensée, un même doute les séparait, c’était une angoisse, c’était une volupté. » (Extrait du chapitre III.)

Honoré de Balzac

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Regarded as one of the key figures of French and European literature, Balzac’s realist approach to writing would influence Charles Dickens, Émile Zola, Henry James, Gustave Flaubert, and Karl Marx. With a precocious attitude and fierce intellect, Balzac struggled first in school and then in business before dedicating himself to the pursuit of writing as both an art and a profession. His distinctly industrious work routine—he spent hours each day writing furiously by hand and made extensive edits during the publication process—led to a prodigious output of dozens of novels, stories, plays, and novellas. La Comédie humaine, Balzac’s most famous work, is a sequence of 91 finished and 46 unfinished stories, novels, and essays with which he attempted to realistically and exhaustively portray every aspect of French society during the early-nineteenth century.

    While not particularly "engaging," (I read this book twice in as many weeks, and fell asleep approximately 20 times in the process) Balzac's first signed novel poses some interesting questions. How, and with what consequences, do "history" and "fiction" coincide? How does one write the history of forgotten individuals?
