- Book Synopsis
- A book on the experience of reading Honoré de Balzac's La Comédie humaine which recounts the process of Peter Brooks's own discovery of Balzac. A personal account of coming to terms with Balzac: moving from more classical and restrained authors to the highly-coloured melodramatic novels of the Human Comedy, which give us the dynamics of a new and challenging world on the threshold of modernity. This volume shows readers how to read, and to love reading, Balzac, and how to engage with his vast work.
- About The Author
- Peter Brooks has taught mainly at Yale University, where he is Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus; he has held positions also at the University of Virginia, Princeton University, the universities of Oxford, Bologna, and Copenhagen.
