Reseña del libro "The Hated Son (en Inglés)"

Excerpt: ...sorrows were the links that united him to the unseen world; he went there, armed with his love, to seek his mother; realizing thus, with the sublime harmonies of ecstasy, the symbolic enterprise of Orpheus. Often, when crouching in the crevice of some rock, capriciously curled up in his granite grotto, the entrance to which was as narrow as that of a charcoal kiln, he would sink into involuntary sleep, his figure softly lighted by the warm rays of the sun which crept through the fissures and fell upon the dainty seaweeds that adorned his retreat, the veritable nest of a sea-bird. The sun, his sovereign lord, alone told him that he had slept, by measuring the time he had been absent from his watery landscapes, his golden sands, his shells and pebbles. Across a light as brilliant as that from heaven he saw the cities of which he read; he looked with amazement, but without envy, at courts and kings, battles, men, and buildings. These daylight dreams made dearer to him his precious flowers, his clouds, his sun, his granite rocks. To attach him the more to his solitary existence, an angel seemed to reveal to him the abysses of the moral world and the terrible shocks of civilization. He felt that his soul, if torn by the throng of men, would perish like a pearl dropped from the crown of a princess into mud. PART II HOW THE SON DIED CHAPTER IV THE HEIR In 1617, twenty and some years after the horrible night during which Etienne came into the world, the Duc d'Herouville, then seventy-six years old, broken, decrepit, almost dead, was sitting at sunset in an immense arm-chair, before the gothic window of his bedroom, at the place where his wife had so vainly implored, by the sounds of the horn wasted on the air, the help of men and heaven. You might have thought him a body resurrected from the grave. His once energetic face, stripped of its sinister aspect by old age and suffering, was ghastly in color, matching the long meshes of white hair which fell...

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1851), novelista, dramaturgo, crítico literario y de arte, ensayista, periodista e impresor francés, está considerado como uno de los grandes escritores del realismo. Nacido en Tours, en 1814 se trasladó a París, donde estudió derecho y empezó a trabajar en un bufete, pero su afición a la literatura le movió a abandonar su carrera y a dedicarse a escribir. Emprendió varios negocios, que acabaron en fracaso y le cargaron de deudas. Con El último chuan (1829), obtuvo un gran éxito. A partir de entonces inició una febril actividad, escribiendo, entre otras, La fisiología del matrimonio (1829) y La piel de zapa (1831), con las que empezó a consolidar su prestigio. En 1834, Balzac, trabajador infatigable, concibió la idea de hacer un retrato exhaustivo de la sociedad francesa de su tiempo haciendo aparecer los mismos personajes en distintos relatos, lo que empezó a dar a su obra un sentido unitario bajo el título de La comedia humana, a la que pertenecen títulos como Eugenia Grandet (1833), Papá Goriot (1835), Esplendores y miserias de las cortesanas (1838-1847) o La prima Bette (1846), aunque de las 137 novelas que debían integrarla, cincuenta quedaron incompletas. Extraordinario escritor, capaz de desplegar en sus obras reflexiones e ideas sublimes, crear una historia interesante con fuerte crítica social a través una exquisita prosa de gran nivel poético y profundidad filosófica, Balzac es considerado el fundador de la novela moderna.
