Lost Illusions - Balzac's novel, placed by him in "The Human Comedy" in the section "Scenes of Provincial Life", in fact gives a vivid and fantastically detailed panorama of life in the French capital, again convincing in the incredible ability of the French classicist to penetrate into any sphere of contemporary life, in the most secret corners of the minds of characters. The heroes of the novel Lucien and David - a young provincial poet and his friend, a naive inventor - look at reality through rose-colored glasses. However, caught in the clutches of need, they slowly become disillusioned with their former ideals, learning what mechanisms actually govern society. It becomes bitterly clear: the good intentions of growing up young men pave the road to success at any cost.
