In “The Duchess of Langeais” (1834), part of Balzac’s monumental series “The Human Comedy,” we are transported to post-Napoleonic Paris during the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. Balzac critiques the aristocracy for squandering its opportunity to provide leadership and stability, instead indulging in a life of entitlement and superficiality within the confines of elegant salons. The novel unfolds a tumultuous love affair, hindered by the obsessive manipulations of its two main characters the duchess, a pampered product of civilization, and a military hero who, despite his ...

Story0
Dass es in der Welt der durchorganisierten Gesellschaft zugeht wie in einem geordneten Irrenhaus, in dem die Momente des Zufalls, der Willkür und der belanglosen Gründlichkeit geheimen Gesetzen und Mustern folgen, die uns martern und entfremden, offenbart uns Franz Kafka mit seinem Roman „Der Prozess". Das Drama „Hamlet" von William Shakespeare zeigt einen Menschen in tiefer Krise seiner Existenz und spart dabei weder an Gruseleffekten, Humor, Philosophie oder Liebestragik.

In his haunting and poignant novella Farewell (Adieu), Balzac delves into the 19th-century literary landscape of the hysterical woman—sequestered, confined within her madness; voiceless, or eerily reciting chants in her isolated haven. The specter of the first Mrs. Rochester lingers, while the Lady of Shalott awaits the moment when the fragile illusion of her world will shatter. Soon, Freuds earliest patients will find themselves in the waiting room of the mind. During a hunting excursion, two friends stumble upon a mysterious, waif-like woman imprisoned in a crumbling chateau, whimsically ...

Роман "Крестьяне" был создан Бальзаком в последний период его творчества. Роман строится на показе широких социальных явлений, на драматическом столкновении массовых материальных интересов. Ни в одном другом своем произведении не ставил с такой мужественной правдивостью и прямотой вопрос о существовании двух наций внутри одного общества - нации господ и рабов, имущих и неимущих, хозяев жизни и обездоленных.

“Sonradan şark şiirinin ruhumda ışıması gibi birdenbire parlayan bir kadın kokusu aldım. Yanımda oturan kadına baktım ve gözlerimi bu eğlenceden de çok kamaştırdı; birdenbire tüm şenliğim o oldu. Daha önceki yaşamımı iyi anladıysanız, o anda kalbimden fışkıran duyguları da tahmin edebilirsiniz. Okşayabilmek için deliye döndüğüm bu ak ve yuvarlak omuzlara takıldı gözlerim; sanki ilk kez çıplak kalmış gibi hafifçe pembeleşmişlerdi. Pek edepli, adeta bir ruhu olan ve ışıkta ipekli bir kumaş gibi parlayan saten bir teni vardı bu omuzların. Dinlemek için çok iyi bir seçim.

In diesem Dreiteiler, der wiederum Teil der monumentalen "comédie humaine" ist, beschreibt Honoré de Balzac die Irrungen und Wirrungen eines Dichters aus der Provinz in Paris. Das Frankreich der bourbonischen Restauration und seine oft bizarre Spaltung zwischen Paris und der Provinz wird in helles Licht getaucht. Der Dichter Lucien Chardon mit all seinen Begabungen erfährt einen Charaktertest, in dem klar wird, dass Ehrgeiz ohne eine entsprechende Bereitschaft zu demütiger Arbeit kein Erfolg beschieden sein kann.
