Esplendores e misérias das cortesãs

By Honoré de Balzac

Em "Esplendores e misérias das cortesãs", livro de ritmo vertiginoso e verdadeiro precursor do romance noir, temos histórias ambientadas no mundo esfumaçado dos cafés e dos crimes, nos bastidores do sistema judiciário da Paris da primeira metade do século XIX. Ao desvendar as relações entre a alta sociedade francesa e um mundo nebuloso e intermediário, onde figuram mulheres belíssimas e de origem duvidosa, bandidos e escroques variados, Balzac criou um de seus romances mais expressivos e de mais empolgante fabulação.

Honoré de Balzac

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright active during the mid-19th century. Balzac made attempts at many professions, including publishing, business, politics, and law, before he found his best fit as a writer. Balzac was very dedicated to his work, often writing for fifteen hours a day. Because of his attention to detail and unfiltered representation of reality, Balzac is regarded as the founder of realism within the European literary canon.
