概要

 A Distinguished Provincial at Paris (Un grand homme de province à Paris, 1839) is the second installment in Balzac’s captivating Lost Illusions trilogy, a cornerstone of his monumental work, La Comédie Humaine. Set against the backdrop of post-Napoleonic France, the narrative unfolds as the emerging bourgeoisie vies for status alongside the entrenched aristocracy. In the previous volume, Two Poets (1837), we were introduced to Lucien Chardon, a young poet feeling suffocated by the constraints of provincial life. Now, adopting the more aristocratic name de Rubempré, Lucien leaves his family behind to pursue his dreams of fame and success in the vibrant literary scene of Paris. As he navigates a landscape rife with literary, social, financial, and ethical challenges, his journey becomes a profound exploration of ambition and disillusionment. Balzac’s work has left an indelible mark on the evolution of realism in literature, and the Lost Illusions trilogy stands as one of his crowning achievements, featured in the esteemed collection 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. The trilogy concludes with the final volume, Ève and David (1843). - Summary by Bruce Pirie Other volumes in this series Lost Illusions Two Poets, Lost Illusions Ève and DavidCopyright Fiction Classics アート 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
