About This Item
Modern Library, 2001, 2001. Soft cover. As New. Octavo, softcover, fine, as new, in beige pictorial wraps. 721 pp. Sand wrote of Balzac, "the master unequalled in the art of painting humanity as it exists in modern society". Written between 1837 and 1843, Lost Illusions reveals, perhaps better than any other of Balzac's ninety-two novels, the nature and scope of his genius. The story of Lucien Chardon, a young poet from Angoulême who tries desperately to make a name for himself in Paris, is a brilliantly realistic and boldly satirical portrait of provincial manners and aristocratic life.
