Описание: Le Colonel Chabert est l'histoire d'un revenant.Enseveli sous un monceau de cadavres, le colonel Chabert meurt une première fois à la bataille d'Eylau. Déterré vivant, il n'est plus, dix ans plus tard, qu'un fantôme, un survivant de l'épopée napoléonienne. Humilié, chassé de partout: la société, la France de la Restauration, personne ne veut plus de lui, sa femme elle-même, une ancienne "fille" du Palais-Royal remariée à un aristocrate, refuse de reconnaître ce vaincu.Elle l'assassine pour la seconde fois. Comment obtenir qu'on lui rende son épouse, sa dignité, son rang? Telle est la tragédie de Chabert, face à la trahison et à l'infamie. Ce drame d'un homme tiraillé entre sa force d'âme et sa faiblesse de cœur est de tous les temps. Si le colonel Chabert avait été tué à Eylau, il serait devenu un héros parmi d'autres. Ressuscité et misérable, tel que le génie de Balzac le montre, il entre dans l'immortalité.

..".the duty of a woman, who wishes for domestic peace, compels her to bury sufferings so keen as hers at the bottom of her heart, and without a complaint."
Day after day, a poor but beautiful young seamstress toils away by her window, waiting for the mysterious Monsieur Noir: a gentleman she hopes will be the answer to all her prayers . . . A ball given at the height of NapolEon's power is the scene of a wager between army comrades to see who will be the first to dance with an unknown lady in blue . . . Who is Madame Firmiani? Is she a beautiful society lady? A dangerous woman, a siren? Or is she perhaps nothing more than an innocent and charming hostess who gives delightful tea parties? The rich uncle of a young man who has come under her sway is determined to find out . . .
A Second Home, Domestic Peace, Madame Firmiani, A Study of Woman, The Imaginary Mistress, and A Daughter of Eve are the six works of The Human Comedy presented in this volume, all of which share adultery and suspicion as their primary themes.
La ComEdie Humaine, left unfinished at the time of Balzac's death, is a vast literary work comprising nearly one hundred short stories, novellas, and novels set in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy. Throughout, Balzac utilizes nineteenth century French society to examine humanity and the human experience with all its attendant virtues, vices, and peculiarities.
HonorE de Balzac (1799-1850) was one of France's most prolific and influential writers, and is generally considered to be one of the first and greatest of the literary realists. In his lifetime, he tried and failed at a number of professions, including that of legal clerk, printer, publisher, and as a businessman who engaged in a number of abortive ventures. These experiences, as well as numerous affairs with admiring ladies―many of them from the nobility―and an unsuccessful run for public office, provided him with a wealth of material for his writing, in which he was able to create some of the most memorable characters in French literature.

Louis Lambert, The Exiles, and Seraphita are three titles from the "Philosophical Studies" of Honor de Balzac's magnum opus, The Human Comedy, which includes about 100 linked stories and novels. The three works included in this volume are thematically connected by their engagement with the spiritual doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg.
Louis Lambert examines the life and theories of a boy genius who is enrolled in the Coll ge de Vend me by a benefactor, the real-life author Madame de Sta l. But the actual events of Louis Lambert are secondary to its extended discussions of philosophy and human emotion.
The Exiles is a short story, published in 1831, about two poets named Dante and Godefroid de Gand who attend the Sorbonne at the start of the fourteenth century. It explores questions of metaphysics and mysticism, particularly the spiritual quest for illuminism and enlightenment.
Seraphita is Balzac's paean to spiritual love. It departs from the realism of the author's best-known works. Seraphita is a strange and melancholic being loved by Minna, who believes him to be a man, and also by Wilfrid, who considers her a woman. In fact, Seraphita is an androgyne, the perfect example of humanity.
