Balzac's Lives offers a unique perspective on the life and work of French literary giant Honoré de Balzac. Through nine of his greatest characters, Peter Brooks sheds new light on the writer's era and its dynamic forces.
By exploring the fictional lives he imagined, Brooks reveals the novelist as a master of his craft, bringing to life the people and events that shaped 19th-century France.
This vivid portrait is a searching examination of Balzac's work, one that illuminates both the writer's genius and the era in which he wrote.
