Synopsis "Ferragus: Jefe de los Devorantes (in Spanish)"

Ferragus comienza a la manera de una película de Murnau o de Fritz Lang. En esta novela de 1833, Balzac incita al lector a deambular por París tras una misteriosa mujer de la mano de su escritura genial y desmesurada. Italo Calvino consideraba el libro «un atlas del continente París» y afirmó que su autor fue «el primero que intuyó la ciudad como lenguaje, como ideología, como condicionante de todo pensamiento, palabra o gesto». Blaise Cendrars, por su parte, escribió que aquí «Balzac esboza el plan psicológico, anatómico, físico, mecánico y económico» de la capital. Lo cierto es que el París moderno, «el más delicioso de los monstruos» según Balzac, es el protagonista del que constituye el primer episodio de la trilogía Historia de los Trece.

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.
