Balzac by Frederick Lawton is a biography of the renowned French writer, Honor����� de Balzac. The book explores Balzac's life, from his humble beginnings in Tours to his rise to literary fame in Paris. Lawton delves into the details of Balzac's personal life, including his numerous love affairs and financial struggles, as well as his literary influences and accomplishments. The book also provides a comprehensive analysis of Balzac's major works, such as La Com�����die Humaine, and examines the social and political context in which they were written. Balzac is a fascinating and insightful look at one of the most important figures in French literature.One has little doubt in deciding that, of the two spurs which goaded Balzac's labours, his desire for wealth acted more persistently and energetically than his desire for glory. In his conversations, in his correspondence, money was the eternal theme; in his novels it is almost always the hinge on which the interest, whether of character, plot, or passion, depends. Money was his obsession, day and night; and, in his dormant visions, it must have loomed largely.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
