Ce n’était pas une petite tâche que de peindre les deux ou trois mille figures saillantes d’une époque, car telle est, en définitif, la somme des types que présente chaque génération et que La Comédie Humaine comportera. Ce nombre de figures, de caractères, cette multitude d’existences exigeaient des cadres, et, qu’on me pardonne cette expression, des galeries. De là, les divisions si naturelles, déjà connues, de mon ouvrage en Scènes de la vie privée, de province, parisienne, politique, militaire et de campagne. Dans ces six livres sont classées toutes les Études de mœurs qui forment l’histoire générale de la Société, la collection de tous ses faits et gestes, eussent dit nos ancêtres… Les Scènes de la vie privée représentent l’enfance, l’adolescence et leurs fautes, comme les Scènes de la vie de province représentent l’âge des passions, des calculs, des intérêts et de l’ambition. Puis les Scènes de la vie parisienne offrent le tableau des goûts, des vices et de toutes les choses effrénées qu’excitent les mœurs particulières aux capitales où se rencontrent à la fois l’extrême bien et l’extrême mal… (Extrait de l’avant-propos de Scène de la vie privée Tome I de Honoré de Balzac) [chương_files]

This book is a short selection of varied fictional tales. They must have been what the author wished for them to be and certainly perfect for the time in which they were written. (Summary by April Reynolds ) [chương_files]
