El médico rural

Por Honoré de Balzac

La inmensidad de un plan que abraza a la vez la historia y la crítica de la Sociedad, el análisis de sus males y la discusión de sus principios, me autoriza, creo yo, a dar a mi obra el título con el que aparece hoy: La Comedia Humana.

La comedia humana, es el título de uno de los mayores proyectos narrativos de la historia de la literatura: Honoré de Balzac, su autor, se propuso escribir 137 novelas e historias interconectadas.

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.
