About the book

Honoré de Balzac's Lost Illusions follows the ambitious young poet Lucien Chardon as he leaves provincial France for Paris in search of literary success. Lucien enters a world of journalism, publishing, fashionable society and financial temptation, where artistic ideals are repeatedly compromised by ambition. Balzac uses his rise and fall to expose the workings of reputation, money and social advancement.
