Nieznane arcydzieło
W tomie Nieznane arcydzieło znalazły się dwa opowiadania z Komedii ludzkiej. Bohaterem pierwszego jest malarz Frenhofer (Nieznane arcydzieło), drugiego – kompozytor Gambara (Gambara).
Obaj odwracają się od tętniącego życiem świata, by poświęcić się swojemu powołaniu. To, co tworzą, trzymają w ukryciu. Dopóki tylko o tym mówią, oczekuje się arcydzieła. Gdy wreszcie można je poznać, nie da się go zrozumieć. Wizja i rzeczywistość okazują się nieprzystawalne. Artysta jawi się jako niedościgniony geniusz lub żałosny szaleniec. Albo i jedno, i drugie.
Opowiadając o obu twórcach, Balzac snuje głębokie rozważania o naturze sztuki i pokazuje, jak wysoką cenę płaci się za dążenie do ideału. Ale być może właśnie te poszukiwania nadają ludzkiemu życiu najgłębszy sens.

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.

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.
