Comédie Humaine: 08 - Scènes de la vie de province tome 4 (29-07-43) - Illusions perdues

by Honoré de Balzac

This volume, part of Balzac's sprawling *Comédie Humaine*, follows the journey of Lucien de Rubempré, a young man from a provincial background who arrives in Paris with dreams of literary success and social advancement. He soon becomes entangled in the complexities of Parisian society, navigating the allure of wealth, the pitfalls of ambition, and the bittersweet realities of love and loss. Balzac, through his intricate characters and keen social observation, explores the themes of ambition, disillusionment, and the corrosive power of social pressures on individual lives.
