Honoré de Balzac, born Honoré Balzac, 20 May 1799 - 18 August 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.[3] 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.

Is it a petty or a profound trouble? I knew not; it is profound for your sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, but exceedingly petty for you. "Petty! You must be joking; why, a child costs terribly dear!" exclaims a ten-times-too-happy husband, at the baptism of his eleventh, called the little last newcomer, -a phrase with which women beguile their families.

This was an untenable position. Cataneo, who only looked for a duchess, thought himself ridiculous as a husband; and, when Massimilla complained of this indifference, he calmly bid her look about her for a cavaliere servente, even offering his services to introduce to her some youths from whom to choose. The Duchess wept; the Duke made his bow.

Le Colonel Chabert est un court roman d'Honoré de Balzac, qui paraît sous sa forme définitive en 1844. Il pénètre dans les Scènes de la vie privée de La Comédie humaine dont il est l'un des principaux romans. Il est dédié à Ida du Chasteler, qui a dessiné pour Balzac les blasons imaginaires des familles deLa Comédie humaine. Le Colonel Chabert, en tant que tel, est une parenthèse émouvante dans la galerie de portraits balzaciens, un hommage rendu aux grognards de Napoléon Ier.

Le Colonel Chabert (English: Colonel Chabert) is an 1832 novella by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850). It is included in his series of novels (or Roman-fleuve) known as La Comédie humaine (The Human Comedy), which depicts and parodies French society in the period of the Restoration (1815-1830) and the July Monarchy (1830-1848).

Dans la vieille Bretagne aristocratique, à Guérande enceinte de ses puissantes murailles, le jeune Calyste du Guénic cherche un idéal de vie que semble lui offrir la fréquentation de Félicité des Touches, écrivaine et musicienne déjà célèbre sous le pseudonyme de Camille Maupin. Mais Calyste a un rival: Claude Vignon, auteur célèbre et soupirant assidu de Félicité. Quand la marquise Béatrix de Rochefide et son amant Conti, un musicien autrefois amant de Félicité, arrivent au château, Calyste est poussé dans les bras de la marquise par Félicité elle-même. Alors qu'il vit un amour bref et intense avec Béatrix, Conti lui enlève soudainement la femme qu'il aime. Le jeune Breton tombe dans un abattement dont Félicité elle-même le tirera en l'emmenant à Paris et en favorisant son mariage avec Sabine de Grandlieu, avant de se retirer au couvent. Toutefois, il retrouvera les bras de la marquise, quittée par Gennaro Conti, au grand dam de son épouse.

En septembre 1799, aux confins de la Normandie et de la Bretagne, une troupe républicaine dirigée par le commandant Hulot se fait attaquer par des paysans bretons, les Chouans, qui se battent pour le retour du roi. Fouché, le ministre de la police, souhaite stopper cette nouvelle insurrection de la Bretagne. Il envoie la belle espionne Marie de Verneuil pour séduire leur chef charismatique, le marquis de Montauran, que l'on appelle le Gars. Elle doit, avec l'aide de Corentin, le bras droit de Fouché, un policier ambitieux et peu scrupuleux, le faire tomber dans un piège.

La marquise de Listomère ne laisserait jamais un galant lui faire la cour, même si peu que ce soit. Jusqu'au jour où elle rencontre le très jeune, très beau Eugène de Rastignac (il a un visage d'ange) qui attire son attention sans qu'il cherche à la séduire. Le lendemain, Eugène adresse deux lettres, l'une à son avoué, l'autre à sa maîtresse Delphine de Nucingen. Par étourderie, il se trompe d'adresse et c'est la marquise de Listomère qui reçoit une brûlante lettre d'amour de quatre pages. Prétendument choquée, mais en réalité ravie, la marquise fait consigner Rastignac à sa porte et lui interdit l'entrée de son hôtel. Eugène ne se rend compte de son erreur qu'à ce moment-là et rétablit la vérité auprès de la marquise, qui, de dépit, se calfeutre chez elle, prétextant une gastrite.

Towards three o'clock in the afternoon of one October day in the year 1844, a man of sixty or thereabouts, whom anybody might have credited with more than his actual age, was walking along the Boulevard des Italiens with his head bent down, as if he were tracking some one. There was a smug expression about the mouth-he looked like a merchant who has just done a good stroke of business, or a bachelor emerging from a boudoir in the best of humors with himself; and in Paris this is the highest degree of self-satisfaction ever registered by a human countenance.

Résumé À Douai, la maison Claës abrite une des familles les plus célèbres et plus authentiquement flamandes de la région. Balthazar Claës, homme riche et cultivé mène la vie heureuse d'un grand bourgeois flamand. Il a été l'élève de Lavoisier avec lequel il a étudié la chimie. Il adore la femme qu'il a épousée en 1795, et le bonheur de la famille est complet, jusqu'au jour où, en 1810, Balthazar reçoit la visite d'un mathématicien polonais devenu soldat pour gagner sa vie. L'homme expose à Claës le point précis où il en est arrivé dans sa tentative de décomposer les corps simples afin de découvrir le principe de la matière. Après le départ de l'officier polonais, Balthazar est pris par le démon de la recherche. Saisi d'une véritable fièvre, il passe de coûteuses commandes de produits chimiques, il s'enferme dans son laboratoire de chimie avec son valet, il néglige sa femme et ses quatre enfants, et il conduit sa famille à la ruine. L'intrigue oppose la famille et le dévouement filial à la recherche obsessionnelle du savant, toujours sur le point de trouver l'absolu et toujours échouant, jusqu'à sa mort. Le roman couvre une longue période (1810-1832) qui suit les ruines successives de la famille Claës. Chaque fois, la fortune est miraculeusement reconstituée, grâce à la prévoyance de la mère qui meurt de désespoir, puis à la sagesse et à la fermeté de la fille aînée, Marguerite, que l'on pourrait rapprocher d'Eugénie Grandet dans son rôle de jeune fille modèle. Marguerite dirige de fait la maison, tout en laissant à son père l'illusion qu'il garde son autorité sur la famille. La déchéance de Balthazar est décrite avec passion et minutie par un Balzac lui-même ébloui par l'idée d'absolu. Le roman offre aussi un tableau éclatant des moeurs de la ville de Douai et des splendeurs de la maison Claës. Même s'il ne fait pas partie intégrante du vaste tableau social de la Comédie humaine, la Recherche de l'absolu est un des textes les plus attachants de Balzac. Il traite de la recherche de la perfection, thème que l'on retrouve dans Illusions perdues (le papier parfait pour l'imprimerie Séchard) et Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (une peinture plus forte que la réalité).
