La Comédie humaine - Volume 15. Études philosophiques by Honoré de Balzac

"La Comédie humaine - Volume 15. Études philosophiques" by Honoré de Balzac is a collection written between 1829 and 1850. This volume forms part of Balzac's monumental project to create a "natural history of society"—a vast interconnected literary universe of over ninety works exploring social groups and mechanisms of French society. Through hundreds of recurring characters appearing across multiple stories, Balzac crafted an ambitious fresco capturing the rise of capitalism, the power of money, and the complexity of human nature in nineteenth-century France.
