'La Comédie Humaine: 04 - Scènes de la vie privée tome 4' Summary
Pionnier du roman moderne, Balzac vise à décrire la totalité de la réalité et s'intéresse à des réalités jusque-là ignorées en littérature, parce qu'elles étaient laides ou vulgaires. Il montre sous ses diverses formes la montée du capitalisme et la toute-puissance de l'argent, entraînant la disparition de la noblesse et la dissolution des liens sociaux. Le titre a été choisi en référence à la Divine Comédie de Dante . Mais au lieu d'une entreprise théologique, l'auteur s'est voulu sociologue et a créé un univers non manichéen, où l'amour et l'amitié tiennent une grande place, et qui met en lumière la complexité des êtres et la profonde immoralité d'un mécanisme social où les faibles sont écrasé tandis que triomphent le banquier véreux et le politicien vénal.
