La Comédie humaine - Volume 04 by Honoré de Balzac
"La Comédie humaine - Volume 04" by Honoré de Balzac is part of a vast literary project written between 1829 and 1850. Balzac assembled over ninety works—novels, stories, and essays—to create a sweeping "natural history of society." Through hundreds of recurring characters appearing across multiple works, he systematically explored social classes and the mechanisms of French society. This ambitious undertaking portrays the rise of capitalism, the power of money, and the dissolution
of social bonds, creating unforgettable character types that have become cultural archetypes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
