The Jealousies of a Country Town

Více o knize

Balzac's work offers a vivid portrayal of post-Napoleonic French society through his extensive novel sequence, La Comédie humaine. His keen observational skills and unfiltered societal representation establish him as a pioneer of realism in literature. The complexity of his characters, including morally ambiguous figures and even inanimate objects like the city of Paris, enriches his narratives. His influence extends to notable writers and filmmakers, marking a significant impact on the literary and cinematic landscape.
