Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Harlot´s Progress, Vol. 1 "Splendeurs Et Misères Des Courtisanes" has the interest (which it shares with only one or two others of Balzac´s works), if not exactly of touching the two extremities of his prosperous career, at any rate of stretching over a great part of it. It also exemplifies the very uncertain and fortuitous scheme of the Comedie and its component scenes. At first nothing of it appeared but the first part, and only half of that, under the title of "La Torpille" (Esther Gobseck´s nickname), which was published, together with "La Femme Superieure," the first form of "Les Employes," and "La Maison Nucingen," in 1838. Five years later it appeared in a newspaper as "Esther, ou Les Amours d´un vieux Banquier," the first part being now completed, and the second added. It was not till 1846 that "Ou menent les mauvais Chemins" appeared, and this book itself had different titles. Finally, in Balzac´s very last period of writing at the end of 1846, or the beginning of 1847 - for he and his bibliographer are at issue on that point, - "La derniere Incarnation de Vautrin" was added as a fourth part, making the book, already one of the longest, now by far the longest of all. But the four were not published together till the "edition definitive," many years after Balzac´s death. It would in any case have been necessary to devote two of these volumes to so great a mass of matter, and I have taken the liberty of separating Vautrin from the rest for the purposes of introduction.
