Човешка комедия I: Дядо Горио • Сезар Бирото

by Honoré de Balzac, Оноре дьо Балзак, Ерма Гечева (Translator)

Дядо Горио: Романът на Оноре дьо Балзак „Дядо Горио” е една реалистична картина на живота на френското буржоазно общество от 20-те години на ХIХ век. Разкривайки нравите му, авторът внушава идеята, че нито една личност не може да се развие и оформи ако е в противоречие със законите на средата, в която живее. А според най-важния закон на това общество, парите, златото, богатсвото се ценят много повече от човешкия живот. Същото това общество унижава личността, разбива семейства, осквернява приятелства, а човек изгубва своята съвест и нравственост.

About the author

French writer Honoré de Balzac (born Honoré Balzac), a founder of the realist school of fiction, portrayed the panorama of society in a body of works, known collectively as La comédie humaine .

Honoré de Balzac authored 19th-century novels and plays. After the fall of Napoléon in 1815, his magnum opus, a sequence of almost a hundred novels and plays, entitled, presents life in the years.

Due to keen observation of fine detail and unfiltered representation, European literature regards Balzac. He features renowned multifaceted, even complex, morally ambiguous, full lesser characters. Character well imbues inanimate objects; the city of Paris, a backdrop, takes on many qualities. He influenced many famous authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles John Huffam Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Henry James, and Jack Kerouac as well as important philosophers, such as Friedrich Engels. Many works of Balzac, made into films, continue to inspire.

An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac adapted with trouble to the teaching style of his grammar. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. Balzac finished, and people then apprenticed him as a legal clerk, but after wearying of banal routine, he turned his back on law. He attempted a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician before and during his career. He failed in these efforts From his own experience, he reflects life difficulties and includes scenes.

Possibly due to his intense schedule and from health problems, Balzac suffered throughout his life. Financial and personal drama often strained his relationship with his family, and he lost more than one friend over critical reviews. In 1850, he married Ewelina Hańska, his longtime paramour; five months later, he passed away.
