Description
The tragic fate of a talented yet self-absorbed and weak-willed young man from the provinces—Lucien Chardon—who tries to conquer Paris, is set against the modest and honest life of David Séchard, an Angoulême printer-inventor, who is forced to give up his work because of debts and intrigues. With merciless plausibility and a deep knowledge of the human heart, Balzac depicts the morals and customs of a society in which three main passions rage: obsession with money, the pursuit of power, and love outside of marriage.
