Balzac is een meester van de Franse roman, die hij verschillende genres van filosofische roman "The Unknown Masterpiece" gericht tot de fantastische roman "La Peau de Chagrin" of poëtische roman met de lelie van de vallei. Hij vooral excelleerde in de trant van realisme, met inbegrip van "Goriot" en "Eugenie Grandet", maar hij is een visionair realisme dat de kracht van zijn creatieve verbeelding overstijgt.

Honoré de Balzac est un maître du roman français, dont il a abordé plusieurs genres, du roman philosophique avec Le Chef-d'œuvre inconnu au roman fantastique avec "La Peau de chagrin" ou encore au roman poétique avec "Le Lys dans la vallée". Il a surtout excellé dans la veine du réalisme, avec notamment "Le Père Goriot" et "Eugénie Grandet", mais il s'agit d'un réalisme visionnaire, que transcende la puissance de son imagination créatrice.

She is now awaiting her son's arrival in disguise.

Moins connu que Balzac romancier, voici Balzac maître de la nouvelle. Ces deux récits parlent d'amour, du mal d'amour et de vengeance. Ils sont des épisodes de la vie de certains personnages de "La Comédie humaine" que l'on croise ici brièvement. "Étude de femme" nous conte un moment cruel et éphémère : un jeune homme, croyant envoyer une lettre d'amour à sa maîtresse, se trompe d'adresse et la missive parvient chez une épouse fidèle, mais qui se prend à rêver devant les mots brûlants.

At the beginning of the story the heroine lives an unfulfilled life in rural France, her nature crushed by a domineering and miserly father. Gallant cousin Charles arrives and acts as a catalyst on Eugénie's personality and emotions. Will her love survive the strong self-opinion of the young man and the selfishness of her father or is Eugénie's reward destined to be in heaven?

Theatre Royal. The very name summons up something of grandeur and eloquence. And it was. Hosted by Laurence Olivier, these big-name productions also included the creme de la creme of acting talents from John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson and Orson Welles to Trevor Howard, Michael Redgrave and Olivier himself. They were based on works by the world's leading authors, among them Charles Dickens, Henry James, Oscar Wilde and Anton Chekhov. These are but a few of whose company we shall be keeping as we raise the curtain on our first instalment of theatrical history.

Lisbeth Fischer has lived in the shadow of her beautiful cousin Adeline for much of her life.

Out of kindness, they bring Lisbeth to Paris, where she falls in love with the artist Wenceslas, her protege. However, when she is jilted for Adeline's daughter Hortense, her jealousy and rage exponentially intensify, and she resolves to bring the Hulot family to ruin, employing the cold seductress Valerie Marneffe as her vehicle for revenge.

The French conquerors impose a strange doom on a noble Spanish family.

The Bette referred to in this magnificent novel's title is Lisbeth Fischer, an excruciatingly cunning poor relation who both depends upon and nurses a terrible grudge against the family of her beautiful cousin, Adeline. That family is slowly being ruined by the uncontrollable sexual appetites of Adeline's husband, Baron Hulot - appetites that will, in time, give Cousin Bette opportunity to exact her vengeance.

Die Pension der Madame Vauquer vereint Menschen aus verschiedenen Schichten an ihrem Mittagstisch. Vor dem Hintergrund der Restauration entsteht ein gesellschaftliches Bild von Paris im beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert. Im Zentrum aber steht die Liebe eines Vaters zu seinen Töchtern, die keine Grenzen kennt. Dem nur scheinbaren Glück dieser Töchter, deren gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg er finanziert, opfert er alles, schließlich sogar sein Leben. Dabei steht Goriot für einen anachronistischen Idealismus, über den die neue Zeit erbarmungslos hinwegrollt.

The Unknown Masterpiece is set in 17th-century Paris and revolves around the artist Frenhofer and his relationship with two younger artists, Nicolas Poussin and Frans Pourbus, one of whom is inspired by Frenhofer’s legendary work and seeks his mentorship.

देव कोणाला दिसला आहे? संतमहंत मोठ्या विश्वासानं सांगतात की 'आम्ही पाहिला'! हे अनुभव व्यक्तिगत असतात. अशाच एका देवदुतानं पृथ्वीला भेट दिली आणि उसळत्या समुद्रात प्रवास करणाऱ्या काही प्रवाशांना त्यानं मृत्यूच्या दाढेतून बाहेर काढलं. त्या प्रसंगाची स्मृती म्हणून श्रद्धावान भक्तांनी त्याचं स्मारक उभारलं. कोण होता तो देवदूत? ऐका ओनोरे द बाल्झाकची कथा 'देवदुताची भेट' दीप्ती सिधये यांच्यासह.

Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

Une femme, généreuse et belle comme un ange, soupçonnée d'adultère ; un jeune officier qui se lance dans la plus vaine et maladroite des enquêtes ; un agent de change égaré dans les affres de la passion ; une somme d'argent qu'on n'explique pas ; une société secrète (les Dévorants) dont les membres entendent exercer l'absolutisme de leur bon plaisir ; des duels, des assassinats, des suicides ; une évocation de Vidocq.

In modern society writing a letter, on paper, is almost unheard of. We all scribble notes and reminders but very rarely compose our thoughts in lengthy prose for another person to read.
