Неведомый шедевр: новеллы, повесть
«Человеческая комедия» Оноре де Бальзака — это целый мир с его материками и континентами. Принадлежащие перу писателя повести и новеллы, часть из которых представлена в настоящем сборнике: «Неведомый шедевр», «Гобсек», «Покинутая женщина», «Полковник Шабер», — являют отдельные острова его архипелагов. В этих текстах — то на переднем плане, то в массовке — мелькают колоритные герои будущих бальзаковских романов: светские красавицы и щеголи, ростовщики и стряпчие, адвокаты, финансисты, врачи, художники, куртизанки. Не случайно новеллы порой разрастались в огромные повествования.
Удивительная оптика прозы Бальзака приближает к читателю пестрые картины французского общества, заставляя нас согласиться с замечанием гениального новеллиста Ги де Мопассана: «Писатель может сделать только одно честно: честно наблюдать правду жизни и талантливо изображать ее; все прочее — бессильные потуги старых ханжей».

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.

Читать и перечитывать — и «Неведомый шедевр», и «Гобсека». Такие кружева, такая точность! «Задача искусства не в том, чтобы копировать природу, но чтобы её выражать. … Всякое изображение есть целый мир — это портрет, моделью которого было величественное видение, озарённое светом, указанное нам внутренним голосом и предстающее перед нами без покровов, если небесный перст указует нам выразительные средства, источник которых — вся прошлая жизнь» («Неведомый шедевр», с. 14–15).
