Excerpt from OEuvres Illustrées de Balzac

En ène de astignac avait un visage tout méridional, le teint blanc, des c aveux noirs, des yeux bleus. Sa tournure, ses manières, sa pose habituelle, dénotaient le fils d'une famille noble, où l'éducation première n'avait comporté que des traditions de bon goût. S'il était ménager de ses habits, si les jours ordinaires il achevait d'user les vètements de l'an passé néanmoins il pouvait sortir quelquefois mis comme l'est un jeune homme élégant. Ordinairemmt il portait une vieille redingote, un mauvais gilet, la méchante cravate noire, flétrie, ma}énouée de l'étudiant, un pantalon à l'avenant et des Dettes resse me es.

O tomto autorovi (2017)

Born on May 20, 1799, Honore de Balzac is considered one of the greatest French writers of all time. Balzac studied in Paris and worked as a law clerk while pursuing an unsuccessful career as an author. He soon accumulated enormous debts that haunted him most of his life. A prolific writer, Balzac would often write for 14 to-16 hours at a time. His writing is marked by realistic portrayals of ordinary, but exaggerated characters and intricate detail. In 1834, Balzac began organizing his works into a collection called The Human Comedy, an attempt to group his novels to present a complete social history of France. Characters in this project reappeared throughout various volumes, which ultimately consisted of approximately 90 works. Some of his works include Cesar Birotteau, Le Cousin Pons, Seraphita, and Le Cousine Bette. Balzac wed his lifelong love, Eveline Hanska in March 1850 although he was gravely ill at the time. Balzac died in August of that year.
