Colonel Chabert de Honore De Balzac

Colonel Chabert

Autor Honore De Balzac
en Limba Engleză Paperback

Full text.

Balzac's radiant story recounts the history of Colonel Chabert, a disenfranchised hero of the Napoleonic wars. Left for dead on the battlefield of Eylau, Chabert has spent years as an amnesiac in an asylum. The novel begins with his return to the life he left behind: only to discover that in his absence, his entire life - family, society, identity - has changed. With Napoleon deposed, France's aristocracy has returned to power 'as if the Revolution never occurred'. With Chabert supposedly dead, his wife is now married to a Count. Sickened by his wife's pretence not to recognise him, and the titled society which spurns his former meritorious deeds, Chabert vows to recover his money, his reputation and his name.

Notă biografică

Honore de Balzac was a renowned French novelist and playwright born on May 20, 1799, in Tours, France. He is best known for his monumental work "La Comédie Humaine," a series of interconnected novels and stories that provide a detailed and vivid portrayal of French society in the first half of the 19th century. His initial attempts at writing under pseudonyms were not successful, but he persevered and eventually found his voice, achieving fame with works such as "Eugénie Grandet" and "Père Goriot." Balzac's writing is characterized by his keen observation, complex characters, and detailed depiction of social, political, and economic conditions. His characters are often vividly drawn and represent a wide spectrum of society, from the wealthy aristocrats to the struggling poor. He had a particular talent for exploring the motivations and psychological depth of his characters, making his stories resonate with readers. Balzac was known for his prodigious work ethic, often writing for long hours to meet the demands of his prolific output. Honoré de Balzac passed away on August 18, 1850, in Paris, but his legacy endures through his vast and impactful body of work, which continues to be celebrated for its depth, insight, and enduring relevance.
