About the Book

Pierrette est un roman d'Honoré de Balzac, paru en 1840. Sa première parution date de janvier 1840 sous la forme d'un feuilleton dans le journal Le Siècle puis en livre en septembre 1840. Il fait partie de La Comédie humaine, dans la partie Études de moeurs, dans le deuxième livre des Scènes de la vie de province et le sous-ensemble intitulé Les Célibataires. Balzac a dédicacé ce roman à Anna Hanska, la fille d'Ewelina Hanska qu'il épousera en 1850. Résumé L'action se situe durant le règne de Charles X (1824-1830) et se déroule entièrement dans la ville, dite médiévale, de Provins, dans le département de Seine-et-Marne. Pierrette Lorrain est une jeune orpheline, confiée par ses grands-parents ruinés à ses cousins Rogron, deux célibataires imbéciles. Elle sera la victime innocente des manipulations des personnages essayant de récupérer la fortune des Rogron. C'est le docteur Horace Bianchon qui dénonce les sévices dont la jeune fille est victime et qui propose à son maître (Desplein) de la faire trépaner. Horace assiste son maître dans cette opération délicate.
About the Author: Honoré de Balzac, né Honoré Balzac à Tours le 20 mai 1799 (1er prairial an VII du calendrier républicain), et mort à Paris le 18 août 1850 (à 51 ans), est un écrivain français. Romancier, dramaturge, critique littéraire, critique d'art, essayiste, journaliste et imprimeur, il a laissé l'une des plus imposantes oeuvres romanesques de la littérature française, avec plus de quatre-vingt-dix romans et nouvelles parus de 1829 à 1855, réunis sous le titre La Comédie humaine. À cela s'ajoutent Les Cent Contes drolatiques, ainsi que des romans de jeunesse publiés sous des pseudonymes et quelque vingt-cinq oeuvres ébauchées. Il est un maître du roman français, dont il a abordé plusieurs genres, du roman philosophique avec Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu au roman fantastique avec La Peau de chagrin ou encore au roman poétique avec Le Lys dans la vallée. Il a surtout excellé dans la veine du réalisme, avec notamment Le Père Goriot et Eugénie Grandet, mais il s'agit d'un réalisme visionnaire, que transcende la puissance de son imagination créatrice. Comme il l'explique dans son Avant-Propos à La Comédie humaine, il a pour projet d'identifier les Espèces sociales de son époque, tout comme Buffon avait identifié les espèces zoologiques. Ayant découvert par ses lectures de Walter Scott que le roman pouvait atteindre à une valeur philosophique, il veut explorer les différentes classes sociales et les individus qui les composent, afin d'écrire l'histoire oubliée par tant d'historiens, celle des moeurs et faire concurrence à l'état civil . L'auteur décrit la montée du capitalisme et l'absorption par la bourgeoisie d'une noblesse incapable de s'adapter aux réalités nouvelles. Intéressé par les êtres qui ont un destin, il crée des personnages plus grands que nature, au point qu'on a pu dire que, dans ses romans, chacun, même les portières, a du génie . Ses opinions politiques sont ambiguës: s'il affiche des convictions légitimistes en pleine Monarchie de Juillet, il s'est auparavant déclaré libéral, et défendra les ouvriers en 1840 et en 1848, même s'il ne leur accorde aucune place dans ses romans. Tout en professant des idées conservatrices, il a produit une oeuvre admirée par Marx et Engels, et qui invite par certains aspects à l'anarchisme et à la révolte.
