La Comedia humana. Volumen X: Escenas de la vida parisiense

by Honoré de Balzac

Historia de los Trece agrupa tres novelas cortas: Ferragus, jefe de los Devoradores (1833), La duquesa de Langeais (1833) y La Muchacha de los Ojos de Oro (1834). La trama de la trilogía se basa en una sociedad secreta fundada por trece hombres a los que unen unos intereses comunes, idea que enlaza con la sociedad secreta que fundó el propio Balzac, Cheval Rouge, a la que pertenecieron escritores como Léon Gozlan y Théophile Gautier. Este «demonio de hombre —según Gautier— tenía tal poder de visión que nos describió a cada uno de nosotros, en los más mínimos detalles, la vida espléndida y gloriosa que la asociación le proporcionaría». La sociedad quedó disuelta alrededor de 1840.

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.
