Dans sa vie mouvementée, Balzac a écrit bien des lettres d’amour, et dans la Comédie humaine il a représenté bien des beautés féminines, mais il n’est pas sûr qu’il ait jamais imaginé ou rencontré une créature aussi étincelante et fière que sa ville chérie. La ville toujours nouvelle à laquelle il adresse sa déclaration d’amour est faite d’une accumulation de détails – des noms, des bornes, des ruisseaux, des portes (combien de portes dans la Comédie humaine ?) –, une ville parcourue d’innombrables silhouettes minutieusement dessinées, des clercs de notaires, des grisettes, des journalistes, des portières, des usuriers, des commis-voyageurs, des spéculateurs. De ce Paris-là, il rassemble les éléments en flânant. « Errer dans Paris ! adorable et délicieuse existence ! écrit-il dans la Physiologie du mariage – Flâner est une science, c’est la gastronomie de l’oeil. Se promener, c’est végéter ; flâner, c’est vivre. » Ce livre nous promène sur les pas de Balzac traversant la ville chaussé de ses grosses bottes, courant entre ses imprimeurs, ses éditeurs, ses marchands de café, ses maîtresses et ses amis, s’arrêtant un moment, frappé par un détail que sa mémoire photographique fixait fidèlement. « Il y a pour moi des souvenirs à toutes les portes, des pensées à chaque réverbère, il ne s’est pas construit une façade, abattu un édifice, que je n’en aie épié la naissance ou la mort, je participe au mouvement immense de ce monde comme si j’en avais l’âme. » On pourrait tracer un itinéraire de la Comédie humaine qui mènerait d’Issoudun à Guérande, d’Alençon à Fougères, de Sancerre à Besançon. Mais l’épicentre, là où « tout fume, tout brûle, tout brille, tout bouillonne, tout flambe, s’évapore, s’éteint, se rallume, étincelle, pétille et se consume », c’est Paris.

In the first major English biography of Honor de Balzac for over fifty years, Graham Robb has produced a compelling portrait of the great French novelist whose powers of creation were matched only by his self-destructive tendencies. As colorful as the world he described, Balzac is the perfect subject for biography: a relentless seducer whose successes were as spectacular as his catastrophes; a passionate collector, inventor, explorer, and political campaigner; a mesmerizing storyteller with the power to make his fantasies come true. Skillfully interweaving the life with the novels, Robb presents Balzac as one of the great tragi-comic heroes of the nineteenth century, a man whose influence both in and outside his native France has been, and still is, immense. "Those who know Balzac will not be able to put this book down; those who don't know him will rush from this biography to make his acquaintance." (Richard Marius, author of THOMAS MORE: A BIOGRAPHY)
