Novelle aus de napoleonischen Zeit über das erschüttende Schicksal eines französischen Obersten, der in der Schlacht bei Eylau nach schwerer Verwundung fälschlicherweise totgemeldet wird und unter unsäglichen Leiden nach Frankreich zurückkehrt, um als "lebendiger Leichnam" für sein Recht zu kämpfen.Honoré de Balzac (1799 - 1850) war ein französischer Schriftsteller. Während seiner Kindheit zog er mit seiner Familie nach Paris, wo er seine Schulzeit beendete. Danach nahm er das Jurastudium auf, er besuchte jedoch auch Vorlesungen an der Pariser Philosophisch-philologischen Fakultät. Honoré de Balza brach jedoch das Studium ab, denn er hatte beschlossen, Schriftsteller zu werden. 1838 wurde von ihm, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas und George Sand die Société de Gens de Lettres gegründet, der erste französische Schriftstellerverband.

One of the most famous of Honore de Balzac's novels, "Lost Illusions" paints a faithful picture of the spectacular but superficial world of mid-19th century French society, and the indissoluble relationship between the bourgeois and aristocratic classes. Originally published serially from 1837 to 1843, the story features the main characters Lucien Chardon, a vain and naïve poet and journalist, and his friend and brother-in-law David Sechard, an innovative, hard-working young printer from the provincial Angouleme, with aspirations to revolutionize the production of paper and provide for his new family. The victim of a callous father and unscrupulous competitors, David finds himself in constant turmoil from the reckless exploits and betrayals of his friend Lucien. Lucien, in contrast, is full of grand dreams and aspirations and must leave for Paris as the result of a scandalous affair. He seeks fame and fortune in the city as a poet, while his impetuous actions wreak havoc for many at home. Readers will be drawn to the intertwined stories of these two men in a novel that exemplifies the eternal battles of love, ambition, greed, loyalty, vanity, and betrayal. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Ellen Marriage.
