La Comédie humaine - Volume 01 by Honoré de Balzac
"La Comédie humaine - Volume 01" by Honoré de Balzac is a monumental literary project written between 1829 and 1850. This ambitious work encompasses over 90 novels, short stories, and essays that create a "natural history of society." Balzac systematically explores social groups and mechanisms through interconnected narratives where hundreds of characters reappear across different stories. He captures the rise of capitalism, the power of money, and the complexity of human nature,
creating unforgettable archetypes like the ambitious Rastignac and the miserly Grandet. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
