Two Poets: Two Poets (1837) is the first book in Balzac&rsquo s Lost Illusions trilogy, which is part of his sweeping set of novels collectively titled La Com&eacute die Humaine. The story is set in post-Napoleonic France, when the new bourgeoisie was jostling for position alongside the old aristocracy.&nbsp We meet Lucien Chardon, a young provincial who romantically aspires to be a poet, and his friend David S&eacute chard, who struggles to manage his father&rsquo s printing shop and falls in love with Lucien&rsquo s sister &Egrave ve. The picture of provincial life that emerges is laced with greed, ambition, and duplicity.&nbsp The two other volumes in the trilogy are A Distinguished Provincial at Paris (1839) and Eve and David (1843). In many references parts one and three are combined under the title Lost Illusions and A Distinguished Provincial at Paris is given its individual title. Following this trilogy Lucien&#39 s story is continued in another book, Scenes from a Courtesan&#39 s Life. Balzac&rsquo s work was hugely influential in the development of realism in fiction, and indeed in creating our sense of 19th-century European culture. Oscar Wilde archly said, " The 19th century, as we know it, is largely an invention of Balzac&rsquo S." &nbsp The Lost Illusions trilogy is one of his greatest achievements, and is named in the reference work 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. This edition includes an introduction to the Lost Illusions Trilogy by George Saintsbury. Honor&eacute de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories, La Com&eacute die humaine. Many of Balzac&#39 s works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician he failed in all of these efforts. La Com&eacute die humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and includes scenes from his own experience. &nbsp, Englisch, Ebook.
