A personal account of coming to terms with Balzac: how I moved from more classical and restrained authors (Stendhal, Laclos) 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. "The father of us all," Henry James called Balzac. This is a book about how to read Balzac, to love reading him, and to engage his vast work.
