Produktbeschreibung

In "Scenes from a Courtesan's Life," Honoré de Balzac presents a profound exploration of Parisian society through the lens of a courtesan, Esther Van Gobseck. The novel is intricately woven with the threads of romanticism and realism, showcasing Balzac's signature detailed characterizations and acute social commentary. As part of his grand series "La Comédie Humaine," this work unveils the complexities of desire, ambition, and moral ambiguity in 19th-century France, revealing how personal aspirations intertwine with a corrupt social fabric. Honoré de Balzac, a pioneer of literary realism, drew from his own experiences with the vibrant and often harsh Parisian milieu, which greatly influenced his writing. Known for his deep interest in the human psyche and societal structures, Balzac infuses his characters with vivid psychological depth and complexity. His own encounters with various social strata, combined with a keen observer's eye, enabled him to portray the nuanced lives of his characters, particularly women navigating a male-dominated world. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction, social critique, and psychological depth. Balzac's masterful storytelling and insight into human nature make "Scenes from a Courtesan's Life" not only a compelling read but also a significant commentary on the societal norms of its time.

Autorenporträt

Honoré de Balzac (20 May 1799 - 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. He is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature and is renowned for his multi-faceted characters. Many of Balzac's works have been made into films, and they continue to inspire other writers.An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac had trouble adapting to the teaching style of his grammar school. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. When he finished school, Balzac was apprenticed in a law office, but he turned his back on the study of law after wearying of its inhumanity and banal routine. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician. La Comédie Humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and includes scenes from his own experience. La Comédie humaine is generally viewed as his masterpiece.
