Synopsis "La prima Bette (in Spanish)"

La prima Bette (1846), una de las últimas grandes novelas de Balzac, encierra en el marco de un «documentado y estremecedor estudio de las costumbres parisinas» la crónica vertiginosa de una crisis familiar. En primer término, el barón Hulot, víctima de su pasión por la pérfida madame Marneffe, «ha dejado de ser un hombre y se ha convertido en un mero temperamento», atrayendo sobre sí mismo y los suyos el deshonor y la ruina. Al fondo, en la sombra, la prima Bette, la pariente pobre, «una de esas existencias anónimas, entomológicas» que pasa por ser el ángel tutelar de la familia cuando en realidad trama su destrucción. Y por encima de ellos, por encima de todo, París: un París babilónico, devoto del becerro del oro, repleto de laberintos financieros, por donde andan codo con codo el boato y la miseria, la esposa y la amante, la alta política y el submundo del hampa.

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.
