In "Lost Illusions," Honoré de Balzac presents an intricate tapestry of 19th-century French society through the poignant story of Lucien Chardon, a young poet who grapples with his ambitions amidst the harsh realities of Parisian life. This novel, a crucial part of Balzac's larger work, "La Comédie Humaine," employs a realistic literary style characterized by meticulous detail and psychological depth, reflecting the struggles between idealism and the gritty pragmatism of the age. The narrative navigates themes of aspiration, disillusionment, and the socio-economic forces that shape human ambition, making it a profound exploration of the costs of artistic and moral integrity in a commercially driven world. Balzac, a towering figure in the development of literary realism, drew upon his own experiences of navigating Paris's literary and social hierarchies to craft this powerful narrative. His keen observations of society, shaped by his early challenges as a writer and his profound understanding of human nature, inform his portrayal of Lucien's tumultuous journey as he interacts with both the affluent and the destitute, revealing the complexities of ambition in a rapidly changing society. "Lost Illusions" is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of literature and social criticism. It invites readers to reflect on their own aspirations and the societal structures that influence them. This timeless classic not only captivates with its rich characterizations and vivid descriptions but also serves as a cautionary tale about the cost of forsaking one's ideals in pursuit of success.

Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright, born in 1799 in Tours, France. His father was Secretary to the King's Council and a Freemason, and his mother came from a wealthy family of haberdashers. Balzac had difficulty with the strict nature of his early schooling, and was often sent to punishment in a small isolated cell. This caused early health problems that plagued him throughout his life-exacerbated by his rigorous writing schedule. Balzac is viewed as one of the founders of realism in European literature, creating complex characters who are flawed, morally ambiguous, and absolutely human. Many of his works have been translated into other languages, and made into movies, and he influenced many other well known writers, including Gustave Flaubert, Victor Hugo, and Charles Dickens.This bilingual edition is designed to assist those learning French. The original French text appears on the right-hand pages of the book, with the corresponding English translation on the right-hand pages.

A meditation on five stimulants--tea, sugar, coffee, alcohol and tobacco--by an author very conscious of the fact that his gargantuan output of work was driven by an excessive intake (his bouts of writing typically required 10 to 15 cups of coffee a day) that would ultimately shorten his life. First published in French in 1839 as an appendix to Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's Physiology of Taste, this Treatise was at once Balzac's effort at addressing what he perceived to be an oversight in that cornerstone of gastronomic literature; a chapter toward his never-completed body of analytic studies (alongside such essays as Treatise on Elegant Living) that were to form an overarching "pathology of social life"; and a meditation on the impact of pleasure and excess on the body and the role they play in shaping society. Balzac here describes his "terrible and cruel method" for brewing a coffee that can help the artist and author find inspiration; explains why tobacco can be credited with having brought peace to Germany; and describes his first experience of alcoholic intoxication (which required seventeen bottles of wine and two cigars). Beyond its braggadocio and whimsy, though, this treatise ultimately speaks to Balzac's obsession with death and decline, and attempts to confront in capsule form the broader implications of dissipating one's vital forces. This edition includes illustrations to an earlier French edition by Pierre Alechinsky.
