About this ebook

En 1845, Balzac décida de réunir toute son oeuvre sous le titre: La Comédie Humaine, titre qu'il emprunta peut-être à Vigny...
En 1845, quatre-vingt-sept ouvrages étaient finis sur quatre-vingt-onze, et Balzac croyait bien achever ce qui restait en cours d'exécution. Lorsqu'il mourut, on retrouva encore cinquante projets et ébauches plus ou moins avancés. Vous ne figurez pas ce que c'est que La Comédie Humaine; c'est plus vaste littérairement parlant que la cathédrale de Bourges architecturalement, écrit-il à Mme Carreaud.
Dans l'Avant-Propos de la gigantesque édition, Balzac définit son oeuvre: La Comédie Humaine est la peinture de la société.

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.
