The famous French writer, one of the founders of realism in literature, Honore de Balzac stubbornly 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, “should incorporate all types of people, all social situations, it must embody all social changes, so that not a single life situation, not a single person, not a single character, male or female, nor whose or the views ... did not remain forgotten. The novels included in this edition represent different parts of this cycle: "The Splendor and Poverty of Courtesans" - "Scenes of Parisian Life", "Eugenie Grandet" - "Scenes of Provincial Life", "Lily of the Valley" - "Scenes of Village Life". Secular beauties and fallen women, usurers and young ambitious people, aristocrats, bankers, policemen and the urban poor - they all become the heroes of Balzac, for whom the spiritual 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 a poignant story of a particular person.
