Synopsis "La Bourse (in French)"

Le jeune peintre Hippolyte Schinner tombe par accident dans son atelier, et il reste inanimé. Le bruit de sa chute alerte ses deux voisines de l'étage du dessous, Adélaïde de Rouville et sa mère, qui soignent le jeune homme. Hippolyte trouve alors dans leur appartement une chaleur et une amitié agréable, mais aussi une misère digne et soigneusement cachée. Le jeune peintre est amoureux d'Adélaïde et il se rend souvent chez ses voisines où il découvre la volonté mystérieuse de cacher le passé des deux femmes. Il leur propose de refaire le portrait du mari de madame, un travail qui est une réussite complète et qui lui ouvre les portes de l'appartement de ses voisines...

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1851), novelist, playwright, literary and art critic, essayist, journalist, and French printer, is considered one of the great writers of realism. Born in Tours, in 1814 he moved to Paris, where he studied law and began working in a law firm, but his love for literature drove him to abandon his career and dedicate himself to writing. He undertook several businesses, which ended in failure and left him in debt. With The Last Chouan (1829), he achieved great success. From then on, he began a feverish activity, writing, among others, The Physiology of Marriage (1829) and The Wild Ass's Skin (1831), with which he began to consolidate his prestige. In 1834, Balzac, a tireless worker, conceived the idea of making an exhaustive portrait of French society of his time by having the same characters appear in different stories, which began to give his work a unitary sense under the title of The Human Comedy, to which belong titles such as Eugénie Grandet (1833), Father Goriot (1835), Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans (1838-1847) or Cousin Bette (1846), although of the 137 novels that were to make it up, fifty remained incomplete. An extraordinary writer, capable of deploying in his works sublime reflections and ideas, creating an interesting story with strong social criticism through exquisite prose of great poetic level and philosophical depth, Balzac is considered the founder of the modern novel.
