| 1 | Lost Illusions | Honoré de Balzac |
| Ambitious poet Lucien Chardon leaves his provincial home for Paris, seeking fame and fortune in the literary world. However, he soon becomes entangled in the city’s cutthroat society, where corruption, vanity, and greed reign supreme. Seduced by luxury and manipulated by influential figures, Lucien compromises his ideals, trading integrity for fleeting success. Balzac’s novel exposes the harsh realities of ambition, the commodification of art, and the moral costs of social climbing. With sharp social critique and vivid characters, Lost Illusions paints a timeless portrait of human frailty and the relentless pursuit of power. |
