Synopsis "Les chouans (in French)"

Les Chouans est un roman d'Honoré de Balzac publié en 1829 chez Urbain Canel. Commencé à l'automne 1828 et presque terminé à Fougères, dans la maison du général Gilbert de Pommereul, qui fut l'hôte de Balzac et qui demeura toujours son ami, le roman eut d'abord pour titre Le Gars, puis Les Chouans ou la Bretagne il y a trente ans, avant de devenir provisoirement Le Dernier Chouan. La première édition, en 1829 chez Urbain portait finalement le titre Le Dernier Chouan ou la Bretagne en 1800. En 1834, aux éditions Vimont, le titre changea encore pour Les Chouans ou la Bretagne en 1799. Dans l'édition Furne de 1845, Les Chouans paraît dans le tome xiii de La Comédie humaine dans la section Scènes de la vie militaire.

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.
