About this ebook

In 'SARRASINE' von Honore de Balzac taucht der Leser in die Welt der Pariser Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts ein, in der Liebe, Eifersucht und gesellschaftliche Konventionen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Der Roman besticht durch seinen detaillierten Erzählstil, der die Leser in die Gedankenwelt der verschiedenen Charaktere eintauchen lässt. Balzac verwendet geschickt Ironie und Satire, um die Absurditäten des damaligen gesellschaftlichen Lebens zu enthüllen. 'SARRASINE' ist ein Meisterwerk des Realismus und zeigt Balzacs Fähigkeit, komplexe Charaktere und Beziehungen zu porträtieren. Der Roman ist ein bedeutendes Werk der französischen Literatur des 19. Jahrhunderts und hat bis heute nichts von seinem Reiz verloren. Honore de Balzac, ein bedeutender Vertreter der Französischen Romantik, wurde von seinem eigenen Leben und den gesellschaftlichen Umständen seiner Zeit inspiriert, um 'SARRASINE' zu schreiben. Sein tiefes Verständnis für die menschliche Natur und sein kritisches Bewusstsein für gesellschaftliche Normen prägen seine schriftstellerische Arbeit. Für Liebhaber klassischer Literatur und historischer Romane ist 'SARRASINE' ein absolutes Muss. Mitreißend, tiefgründig und fesselnd bietet dieser Roman einen unverwechselbaren Einblick in die Welt des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Author

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.

    The idea behind this short story by Balzac is dazzling, but I felt that the hurried tying-up-of-loose-ends at the conclusion let it down slightly. The main story is powerful enough to stand on its own, but it's just a shame that I finished it wishing that Balzac had had the time - or courage - to explore slightly more of the psychology that might accompany Sarrasine's realisation about the lovely Zambinella. Sarrasine, as a character, is a little flat. It's published with another (even shorter) story by Balzac, called 'A Passion in the Desert', which I can take or leave, since my head was still spinning with delight at the concept behind the first story. I believe 'Sarrasine' has already been made into an opera. With a bit of narrative padding out, it would make a beautiful period film.
