Synopsis "Cuentos Drolaticos (in Spanish)"

Published between 1832 and 1837, these short stories constitute an extraordinary project of playful writing whose exuberant use of invented language caused a scandal in the literary world at the time. Complemented by the engravings of Gustave Doré, the stories purport to provoke the readers’ merriment and laughter through their mocking tone and ostensible immorality. Thanks to the cross references between the individual tales, the result is a collection of circular short stories that make up an interrelated and well-constructed whole. Publicados entre 1832 y 1837, estos cuentos constituyen un proyecto insólito de escritura lúdica cuya exuberancia en el uso de un lenguaje inventado significó un escándalo para el mundo literario de la época. Complementados por los grabados de Gustave Doré, los cuentos pretenden provocar la alegría y risa del lector mediante un espíritu burlón y una inmoralidad pretendida. Gracias a las referencias cruzadas entre los tratados individuales, el resultado es una colección de cuentos circulares que componen un todo entrelazado y bien construido.

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.
