Lost Illusions

Honoré de Balzac

4.9/5 (9398 ratings)

Description:When David Séchard comes of age, his father wants to sell him his printing press business for three times what it’s worth; David, as generous as his father is miserly, agrees to the price because he loves his father. David soon runs across an old school chum, Lucien, and his sister Eve. Lucien is strikingly handsome, with ambitions to be a poet. Both David and Eve become devoted to doing whatever it takes to help Lucien succeed, and, while doing so, they fall in love. With a ruthless competitor in town trashing his reputation and drastically reducing his income, an exorbitant rent and debt payment to his father, and a new wife, David struggles to make ends meet. He soon pins his hopes on inventing a new process to create paper more cheaply. In the meantime, Lucien takes up with a society woman who is twice his age, and they decide to run off together to Paris. Lost Illusions is about just that—David believes he can be a rich and famous inventor, Lucien believes he can be a rich and famous writer, and Eve believes she can help both the men in her life to succeed in their dreams. All three have to discover what is illusion and what is real, and the process will be painful for all of them.
