About This Novel
Mr. Fu Lei carefully selected 14 must-read Balzac masterpieces for Chinese readers. It is an introductory book for understanding Balzac! After reading it four or five times and revising six or seven drafts, Fu Lei devoted twenty years of effort to translating "The Collected Works of Balzac"! Hugo: "There is a lot of truth, kindness, homeliness, triviality, and vulgarity here. However, sometimes the surface is suddenly torn apart to fully reveal the various realities, and people can immediately see the gloomy and tragic ideals." "When it comes to greatness among French novelists, Balzac should be mentioned first." This set of "Fou Lei's Translation of Balzac's Works" "Collection" contains 14 works carefully selected for Chinese readers by Mr. Fu Lei, a master in French translation. These works are not only "Balzac's excellent works more suitable for Chinese readers", but also "Balzac's novels familiar to general French literary and art lovers". It can be said to be an introductory book for understanding Balzac! Fu Lei began to translate "Alpe Savaron" in 1944 and completed the translation of "Mao Er Bao Bang Bang" in 1965, which took 20 years. He said to himself: "If you want to translate a favorite work, you have to read it four or five times before you can remember the plot and story thoroughly, analyze it thoroughly, make the characters as vivid as the present, and slowly feel out the subtle meaning hidden between the lines." Fu Lei's translation needs to be revised at least 6 or 7 times from the first draft to the final draft. "Old Man Goriot" has been retranslated three times. "Collection of Balzac's Works Translated by Fu Lei" includes: "Petro Goriot", "Colonel Chabe", "Honorine", "Confinement", "Alpe Savaron", "Eugénie Grandet", "Usure Miloët", "The Curate of Tours", "Pierrelande", "The Troublemaker", "Disillusionment", "Auntie Bence", "Uncle Bangs" and "The Rise and Fall of Cesar Pirodo".

Watched the entire episode. I've seen some of it before, so I won't read it again. The first chapter of this book, "Colonel Xapai," is very shocking. "The woman who stirred the water," Aunt Bei was also impressed. "The Curate" and "Disillusionment" are also fresh in my memory. Needless to say, I have watched the masterpieces "Petro Goriot", "Eugénie Grandet", and the not-so-famous "Uncle Bangs". However, after reading it, I immediately looked at the table of contents of the whole set of books, and there were several articles in it that I couldn't remember what they were about. Indeed, there is too much space in this collection of books. And if we read the entire "Comedy Humane" by Balzac, we readers will feel that we are more tired than the author. It is really a voluminous volume. It can be seen how many articles the author has written. Balzac's book needs to be re-read, and you should enjoy it more the second and third time than you did the first time.
