A Distinguished Provincial at Paris (Un grand homme de province à Paris, 1839) is the second installment in Balzac’s captivating Lost Illusions trilogy, a cornerstone of his monumental work, La Comédie Humaine.

In the previous volume, Two Poets (1837), we were introduced to Lucien Chardon, a young poet feeling suffocated by the constraints of provincial life. Now, adopting the more aristocratic name de Rubempré, Lucien leaves his ...

Dass es in der Welt der durchorganisierten Gesellschaft zugeht wie in einem geordneten Irrenhaus, in dem die Momente des Zufalls, der Willkür und der belanglosen Gründlichkeit geheimen Gesetzen und Mustern folgen, die uns martern und entfremden, offenbart uns Franz Kafka mit seinem Roman „Der Prozess". Das Drama „Hamlet" von William Shakespeare zeigt einen Menschen in tiefer Krise seiner Existenz und spart dabei weder an Gruseleffekten, Humor, Philosophie oder Liebestragik.
