Characterized by Balzacs meticulous realism and keen psychological insight, the trilogy delves into the lives of its protagonists, unveiling their struggles against the backdrop of a rapidly changing social order. The authors vivid portrayals of Parisian life, combined with his rich character development and exploration of moral and existential dilemmas, reflect the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of celibacy versus romantic entanglement. Balzac, a towering figure of French literature and a keen observer of human behavior, wrote with the conviction that literature should reveal the truths of society. His own experiences with love, loss, and the constraints placed on personal relationships likely shaped the thematic core of this trilogy. A product of the Romantic era, Balzac sought to bridge the gap between idealism and the harsh realities of life, making his exploration of celibacy a microcosm of broader societal concerns. The Celibates Trilogy is recommended for readers intrigued by complex emotional landscapes and social commentary. It invites reflection on the nature of desire and commitment, making it relevant not only to scholars of literature but also to anyone contemplating the nuances of love and personal freedom in contemporary society.</p>...1915050The Celibates Trilogy4646https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-celibates-trilogy/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1373704/ed390768-abba-4267-bc7e-6c6f3f0d633b.jpg?v=638702634058100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239788028306823_W3siaWQiOiIxMDA4ZTcxYi03ZGJiLTQyODctYmY3ZC1mZmQyNTI5ZDMzZTAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ2LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788028306823_<p>The theme of celibacy was important to Balzac, who gave the name The Celibates to a sub-section of his famous La Comédie humaine. It consists of Pierrette, The Vicar of Tours and The Black Sheep (The Two Brothers). Pierrette tells the story of a sweet little orphan girl, Pierrette Lorrain. She gets adopted by her two older cousins, unmarried brother and sister shopkeepers, who become her guardian because they suspect that she has some inheritance coming. Cousins mistreat Pierrette, make her work as a servant and she becomes miserable. Only one who loves and cares for her is her childhood companion Brigaut. The Vicar of Tours is the tale of an old other-worldly, gentle, introspective vicar named Birotteau and his silent feud with his younger and ambition driven colleague, Troubert. Both of them are priests at Tours, having separate lodgings in the house of Sophie Gamard. When Birotteau leaves for several days, upon return he finds Troubert installed in his apartments, in full possession of his furniture and his library, whilst he himself has been moved into inferior rooms. Birotteau tries to regain his position, but their personal drama gets increasingly interwoven with the politics of their small city and becomes public. The Black Sheep (The Two Brothers) tells the story of the Bridau family, trying to regain their lost inheritance after a series of mishaps. Brothers Phillip and Joseph Bridau lose their father early. Philippe, who is the eldest and his mothers favourite, becomes a soldier in Napoleons armies, and Joseph becomes an artist. After leaving army Philippe becomes a heavy drinker and gambler, while Joseph is a dedicated artist, and the more loyal son, but his mother does not understand his artistic vocation. They get into financial problems which lead to more troubles.</p>...9788028306823_Sharp Inklibro_electonico_129dcf27-5935-308c-8f6e-a406a946e1f9_9788028306823;9788028306823_9788028306823Honoré deInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ciando-epub-1bdcff43-8048-432b-96d2-62980b0f20d1.epub2023-07-16T00:00:00+00:00Sharp Ink
