Famous French writer, one of the founders of realism in literature, Honoré de Balzac persistently searched for the formula of his time, the formula of human existence. In search of a universal key to the human universe, he created a whole world - "The Human Comedy", a unique cycle that combines several dozen novels and short stories and many characters. "My work," wrote Balzac, "must absorb all types of people, all social positions, it must embody all social shifts, so that no life situation, no person, no character, male or female, no one's views ... shall not be forgotten." The novels included in this edition represent different parts of this cycle: "The Glitter and Poverty of Courtesans" - "Scenes of Parisian Life", "Eugenie Grande" - "Scenes of Provincial Life", "Lily of the Valley" - "Scenes of Village Life". Secular beauties and fallen women, moneylenders and young ambition, aristocrats, bankers, police officers and urban poor - all of them become the heroes of Balzac, for whom the mental qualities of people do not depend on social status. An unsurpassed novelist, Balzac was able to combine a fascinating plot and subtle psychological analysis, pictures of social mores and poignant history of a particular person.
