A Passion in the Desert

Honore De Balzac

An Unabridged Edition from the Translation by Ernest Dowson This shot story was my introduction to Honore de Balzac. While I knew the name I had never had anyone suggest I read his work until I entered a course at university and this was suggested reading. I am so glad I discoverer this author. His work is as modern today as when this was first written. A great short story. I highly recommend this.

Notă biografică

Honoré de Balzac (1799 - 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie Humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac, and Henry James, filmmakers Akira Kurosawa and Eric Rohmer as well as important philosophers such as Friedrich Engels. Many of Balzac's works have been made into films and they continue to inspire other writers.
