Tainele casniciei

De Honoré de Balzac

Nu exista balanta pentru cantarirea sentimentelor. Se spune ca în dragoste, întotdeauna, dai mai mult decat primesti sau, poate, e invers? Sa iubesti si sa-i daruiesti persoanei iubite ce-si doreste, nu doar posibilitatea de a-si satisface placerile mondene, ci sa-i jertfesti chiar onoarea ta este, oare, o dovada suprema de dragoste, sau de nesfarsita încredere, sau de copilareasca naivitate, sau, pur si simplu, de nesabuinta?

Honoré de Balzac

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Regarded as one of the key figures of French and European literature, Balzac’s realist approach to writing would influence Charles Dickens, Émile Zola, Henry James, Gustave Flaubert, and Karl Marx. With a precocious attitude and fierce intellect, Balzac struggled first in school and then in business before dedicating himself to the pursuit of writing as both an art and a profession. His distinctly industrious work routine—he spent hours each day writing furiously by hand and made extensive edits during the publication process—led to a prodigious output of dozens of novels, stories, plays, and novellas. La Comédie humaine, Balzac’s most famous work, is a sequence of 91 finished and 46 unfinished stories, novels, and essays with which he attempted to realistically and exhaustively portray every aspect of French society during the early-nineteenth century.
