'Comédie Humaine: 08 - Scènes de la vie de province tome 4 (29-07-43) - Illusions perdues' Summary
Lucien de Rubempré, jeune homme ambitieux et naïf, quitte sa province natale pour Paris, espérant conquérir le monde littéraire et la société. Mais sa quête de gloire et de fortune le conduit à une série de déceptions et d'erreurs. Il se lie d'amitié avec le brillant mais cynique David Séchard, qui l'initie aux ruses du monde parisien. Lucien tombe amoureux de la belle et capricieuse Coralie, une actrice de théâtre, mais sa liaison les entraîne dans des situations dangereuses. L'ambition de Lucien le pousse à se rapprocher de la riche et influente Madame de Bargeton, mais son affection pour elle se révèle être une illusion. Au cœur de la société parisienne, il se retrouve piégé dans un réseau de mensonges et d'intrigues, où la réussite sociale se paie au prix de son intégrité. Le roman suit sa descente aux enfers, la perte de ses illusions et les conséquences tragiques de ses choix. Balzac, à travers ce récit poignant, explore les travers de la société française du XIXe siècle, l'ambition dévorante, le pouvoir corruptrice de l'argent, et les illusions qui nourrissent les rêves de grandeur.Book Details
