Synopsis "Tratado de la Vida Elegante (in Spanish)"

Según el autor, la definición de "vida elegante" sería: el arte de gastar las rentas como hombre de talento; o también: ciencia que nos enseña a no hacer nada pareciendo hacerlo todo; o mejor acaso: el desenvolvimiento de la gracia y del gusto en todo lo que nos es propio y nos rodea; o más lógicamente: saber hacer gala de su fortuna. La vida elegante soporta todas estas definiciones pero encierra cuestiones aún más importantes. Una nación se compone de personas que producen y personas que consumen. Del deseo de no pertenecer a la clase doliente y vejada derivan la nobleza, la aristocracia, los cortesanos y cortesanas, etc. Cada hombre ha sentido la necesidad de tener, como una muestra de su poder, un signo destinado a enseñar a los transeúntes el lugar que ocupa en la sociedad. ¡Y la "vida elegante" ha surgido!
Honoré De Balzac

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.
