41. Biographies: The Classical Fiction Writers: Honoré De Balzac (1799-1850). Honoré de Balzac (17991850). Said to be the greatest of French novelists,Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/Balzac.htm

Said to be the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. As a young man "he steeped himself in Scott's novels." "Balzac may be justly compared with Dickens for humour, but Dickens was broader in caricature; with Thackeray for satire, but Thackeray was keener; with Meredith for analysis, but Meredith was more subtle; with Poe for imagination, but Poe was more fantastic; with Swift for cynicism, but Swift was more caustic; with Defoe for realistic narrative, but Defoe surpassed him in verisimilitude; with Scott for vivid description of nature and of men, but Scott was his master as well as his model." Balzac was a writer who was obliged to produce for a living, and, thus, he wrote many books (he wrote 92 novels); if you have room for two on your shelf, then, in addition to an anthology of his short stories, I would recomend Balzac's Pere Goriot (1834) and his Cousin Bette (1846), "The Limburger cheese of literature." Balzac's Beliefs Family "The viaticum of married life is resignation and self-sacrifice; the bonds of habit, he [Balzac] says, are better than love any day, while society substitutes a lasting sentiment for the mere passing frenzy of nature and creates the family as the foundation of all organized society. In short, in marriage the woman inspires, and the man must do the work, the woman must sacrifice her will, the man his selfishness." Aristocracy He [Balzac] believed in a constitutional monarchy and an aristocracy of the feudal type; aristocracy, he said, was the intellect of the social system. He wrote a pamphlet in favor of primogeniture, and he did not believe in 'the rights of man,' human equality, or the ability of the masses of the people to govern themselves. One man should have the power to make laws."

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback French journalist and writer, one of the creators of realism in literature. Balzac's huge production of novels and short stories are collected under the name , which originated from Dante The Divine Comedy . Before his breakthrough as an author, Balzac wrote without success several plays and novels under different pseudonyms. Despite prolific output, Balzac lived in debt. "...Well, Balzac was politically a legitimist; his great work is a constant elegy on the irreparable decay of good society; his sympathies are with the class that is doomed to extinction. But for all that, his satire is never keener, his irony never more bitter, than when he sets in motion the very men and women with whom he sympathizes most deeply - the nobles..." (Friedrich Engels in 1888) By 1822 Balzac had produced several novels under pseudonyms, but he was ignored as a writer. Against his family's hopes, Balzac continued his career in literature, believing that the simplest road to success was writing. Unfortunately, he also tried his skills in business. Balzac ran a publishing company and he bought a printing house, which did not have much to print. When these commercial activities failed, Balzac was left with a heavy burden of debt. It plagued him to the end of his career. "All happiness depends on courage and work," Balzac once said. "I have had many periods of wretchedness, but with energy and above all with illusions, I pulled through them all."

Emile Zola, 1881 Avec quatre-vingt onze romans et plus de deux mille personnages, dont certains devenus des légendes littéraires, comme le Père Goriot Rastignac ou César Birotteau La Comédie Humaine, qui reconstitue un demi-siècle de notre histoire, de la Restauration à la Monarchie de Juillet, " embrassant toute une société dans son fourmillement humain, la multiplicité de ses lieux et de ses milieux, et l'enchevêtrement de ses détails matériels". Ce qui impressionne chez Balzac, c'est son énergie et sa puissance de travail. Comme l'écrit Jean d'Ormesson, " il n'y a pas dans les lettres françaises, d'image plus familière que celle de Balzac, installé en robe de chambre, une cafetière fumante devant lui, au cœur de la nuit, à sa table de travail. " Il arrivait à Balzac d'y passer jusqu'à dix huit heures d'affilée. Puis il y a chez lui ce talent d'observation : ses descriptions d'une rue de Paris ou d'une ville de province, de vêtements, de mobiliers, ou d'habitats émanent d'un chroniqueur incroyablement attentif à tous les aspects du réel. Ce don d'observation, parfois il en joue : " j'ai été pourvu d'une grande puissance d'observation , écrit-il à Mme Hanska , parce que j'ai été jeté à travers toutes sortes de professions, involontairement …". En effet ses échecs dans l'imprimerie et ses déboires financiers ont lancé à ses trousses une horde d'huissiers intraitables. De ces expériences douloureuses, il fait bon usage pour camper des situations et des personnages plus vrais que nature.

Il est le fils de Bernard-François Balssa, directeur des vivres de la 27ème région militaire et d'Anne-Charlotte Sallambier originaire d'une famille bourgeoise parisienne. La mère de Balzac a trente-deux de moins que son mari. Son patronyme est emprunté à une vieille famille noble, les Balzac d'Entraigues. A la naissance d'Honoré, la famille ne s'est pas encore "emparée" de la particule. 18 avril, naissance de sa sœur Laurence. Utilisation pour la première fois de la particule " de Balzac" Mis en nourrice dès sa naissance, Balzac est confié à partir de cette année-là à la pension Le Guay de Tours. L'indifférence froide de sa mère, l'apathie de son père causeront au jeune Honoré une mélancolie inguérissable.

A Passion in the Desert by Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) "The whole show is dreadful," she cried, coming out of the menagerie of M. Martin. She had just been looking at that daring speculator "working with his hyena"to speak in the style of the program. "By what means," she continued, "can he have tamed these animals to such a point as to be certain of their affection for." "What seems to you a problem," said I, interrupting, "is really quite natural." "Oh!" she cried, letting an incredulous smile wander over her lips. "You think that beasts are wholly without passions?" I asked her. "Quite the reverse; we can communicate to them all the vices arising in our own state of civilization." She looked at me with an air of astonishment. "How `well known'? I said. `If you would only explain to me the mystery I should be vastly obliged.' "After a few minutes, during which we made acquaintance, we went to dine at the first restaurateur's whose shop caught our eye. At dessert a bottle of champagne completely refreshed and brightened up the memories of this odd old soldier. He told me his story, and I said he had every reason to exclaim, `Well known.'" When she got home, she teased me to that extent and made so many promises that I consented to communicate to her the old soldier's confidences. Next day she received the following episode of an epic which one might call "The Frenchman in Egypt."

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z One of the masters of French nineteenth-century fiction, Balzac provocatively includes both lesbian and gay male characters in his novels. Although Balzac was trained in the law, he turned his back on a conventional career as soon as his legal studies had been completed (1819) and promptly began to write fiction. In the hope of accumulating enough wealth to finance his writing, he undertook various business ventures and speculated extensively. These actions resulted not in independence but in mountainous debts from which neither the assistance of adoring women nor the output of his febrile imagination could free him. Balzac's more than ninety novels display an acute grasp of the inner workings of society and have earned him an undisputed place among the masters of French nineteenth-century fiction.
