La peau de chagrin [图书] 豆瓣
Balzac's classic philosophical novel about a young man (Raphal) torn between two women, one whom he loves but who does not reciprocate his affections (Foedora, the "woman without a heart") and one who loves him but for whom initially he has only fraternal feelings (Pauline). The sentimental drama is associated with a philosophical one in allegorical form: how does a man live his life ... with intensity but in an existence of short duration, or without desires in a long life? The drama is expressed through the talisman, a wild ass's skin, given to the hero by an old antique dealer. The skin has magical powers: it enables the owner to satisfy any desire, but it shrinks each time it is used. The owner's life is mirrored by the shrinking skin. This edition reproduces the text of the first edition of the novel (1831) and is the only available edition of this version. The book comes with a cd-rom on which the reader will find a critical apparatus prepared by Andrew Oliver, a well-known Balzac scholar.
Lost Illusions (Modern Library Classics) [图书] 豆瓣
"Balzac [was] the master unequalled in the art of painting humanity as it exists in modern society," wrote George Sand. "He searched and dared everything."
Written between 1837 and 1843, Lost Illusions reveals, perhaps better than any other of Balzac's ninety-two novels, the nature and scope of his genius. The story of Lucien Chardon, a young poet from Angoulême who tries desperately to make a name for himself in Paris, is a brilliantly realistic and boldly satirical portrait of provincial manners and aristocratic life. Handsome and ambitious but naïve, Lucien is patronized by the beau monde as represented by Madame de Bargeton and her cousin, the formidable Marquise d'Espard, only to be duped by them. Denied the social rank he thought would be his, Lucien discards his poetic aspirations and turns to hack journalism; his descent into Parisian low life ultimately leads to his own death.
"Balzac was both a greedy child and an indefatigable observer of a greedy age, at once a fantastic and a genius, yet possessing a simple core of common sense," noted V. S. Pritchett, one of his several biographers. Another, André Maurois, concluded: "Balzac was by turns a saint, a criminal, an honest judge, a corrupt judge, a minister, a fob, a harlot, a duchess, and always a genius."

风雅生活论 [图书] 豆瓣
巴尔扎克在前言中证明，他在一个永不发生变化的社会里，自命为风雅教授是有道理的。
伟大的文明产生的不朽、宏伟的艺术让位于风雅——这一全新的概念表示的是日常生活中的仪表和个人的虚荣。
论文从原因谈到结果，从风雅生活的基础知识谈到服装款式，不要认为这样就丧失了力度和深度。因为一提起巴尔扎克，任何时尚爱好者都会想到他是哲学家、美学家。在简单-整洁-和谐三件套之上，论文的作者发现了作为风雅构成要素的必不可少的统一性。这个统一原则对巴尔扎克的作品体系影响深远。
《风雅生活论》把转瞬即逝的时尚提升为有自己原则和规律的生活方式，创建了社交人的唯物主义——其理念等同于智者的唯物主义，初步推动一种风流雅士的时尚文学。这篇论文之后，诗人和小说家得以大谈服饰和饰物盒而不用担心有失身份。

The Unknown Masterpiece [图书] 豆瓣
A New York Review Books Original
One of Honoré de Balzac's most celebrated tales, "The Unknown Masterpiece" is the story of a painter who, depending on one's perspective, is either an abject failure or a transcendental genius—or both. The story, which has served as an inspiration to artists as various as Cézanne, Henry James, Picasso, and New Wave director Jacques Rivette, is, in critic Dore Ashton's words, a "fable of modern art."
Published here in a new translation by poet Richard Howard, "The Unknown Masterpiece" appears, as Balzac intended, with "Gambara," a grotesque and tragic novella about a musician undone by his dreams.

Eugénie Grandet [图书] 豆瓣
'Who is going to marry Eugenie Grandet?' This is the question that fills the minds of the inhabitants of Saumur, the setting for Eugenie Grandet (1833), one of the the earliest and most famous novels in Balzac's Comedie humaine. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugenie's cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugenie's emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel. Eugenie's moving story is set against the backdrop of provincial oppression, the vicissitudes of the wine trade, and the workings of the financial system in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It is both a poignant portrayal of private life and a vigorous fictional document of its age. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Le Colonel Chabert [图书] 豆瓣
The story of a French military hero of the Napoleonic Wars, long assumed to be dead, tries to recover his fortune and former wife through the help of a famous Parisian lawyer. Colonel Chabert, a Napoleonic War hero supposedly killed in the Battle of Eylau, returns to Paris after a long convalescence to find his wife remarried, and his pension gone. He employs a young, well-known lawyer to at least reclaim his pension. It is a game of wits: first to convince the lawyer that he is who he says he is; secondly to get his wife to admit to his identity and thereby give up some of her wealth. Once the lawyer believes Chabert's story, the wife must be made to part with his pension...

Handsome would-be poet Lucien Chardon is poor and naive, but highly ambitious. Failing to make his name in his dull provincial hometown, he is taken up by a patroness, the captivating married woman Madame de Bargeton, and prepares to forge his way in the glamorous beau monde of Paris. But Lucien has entered a world far more dangerous than he realized, as Madame de Bargeton's reputation becomes compromised and the fickle, venomous denizens of the courts and salons conspire to keep him out of their ranks. Lucien eventually learns that, wherever he goes, talent counts for nothing in comparison to money, intrigue and unscrupulousness. "Lost Illusions" is one of the greatest novels in the rich procession of the Comedie humaine, Balzac's panoramic social and moral history of his times.

幻灭（插图珍藏本） [图书] 豆瓣
Illusions Perdues
巴尔扎克（Honoré de Balzac，1799年5月20日—1850年8月18日），法国最伟大的小说巨匠，被誉为“现代法国小说之父”。其小说创作总称为《人间喜剧》，被誉为“资本主义社会的百科全书”。
《幻灭》是傅译巴尔扎克名著中篇幅最大的一部，其中心内容是两个有才能，有抱负的青年理想破灭的故事，主人公吕西安是一位诗人，在外省颇有些名气。他带着满脑子幻想来到巴黎，结果在巴黎新闻界恶劣风气的影响下，离开了严肃的创作道路，变成无耻的报痞文氓，最后在党派倾轧、文坛斗争中身败名裂。他的妹夫大卫•赛夏是个埋头苦干的发明家，因为敌不过同行的阴险算计，被迫放弃发明专利，从此弃绝了科学研究的理想。作者将这两个青年的遭遇与整整一代青年的精神状态，与整个社会生活，特别是巴黎生活的影响联系在一起，使之具有了普遍意义。在巴尔扎克笔下，十九世纪的巴黎好比希腊神话中的塞壬女妖，不断地吸引着和毁灭着有才能、有抱负的外省青年。
