Excerpt from Le Curé de Tours
Honoré de Balzac, the greatest novelist of France and per haps of the world, was born in Tours, in 1799, and died in Paris, in 1850. He was trained as a lawyer but early devoted himself to literature, yet at first without much success. He lived for years in a garret, subsisting with difficulty, but with a profound faith in himself he continued to write. From 1822 to 1827 he published several stories, all under an assumed name, but with Les Chouans, published in 1827, begins the long list of works signed with his own name. In 1830 appeared La Peau de chagrin, which placed its author in the front rank of French novelists.
