El cura de Tours originamente llamada Los célibes, es una novela corta que corresponde al Volumen II de Escenas de la vida de provincia, que, a su vez, integra su vasta serie narrativa La Comedia humana. La historia gira en torno al abate Birotteau, un ambicioso clérigo de unos sesenta años de edad que es el personaje principal de este relato, ambientado en el barrio de la Catedral Saint-Gatien y el claustro de la Psalette. Balzac agudo e implacable, analiza las implicancias del celibato y desnuda, sin piedad, la hipocresÃa del mundo eclesiástico, en el que muchos de sus miembros no buscan el favor divino, sino una cómoda posición y se desviven con el afán de lograrlo, aunque eso implique ofender a Dios y abusar del prójimo, pisoteando el honor y la fuerza de hombres con mejores talentos que ellos.
