«Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu» is the fantastic tale by Honoré de Balzac and Eric Hoppenot, published by Nathan in paperback (131 pages, in French).
In the Paris of 1612, a young painter destined to be Nicolas Poussin and the master François Porbus encounter Frenhofer, an enigmatic old artist who hides the work of his life and seeks the ideal model. Balzac's tale reflects on artistic creation and the power of the mind in art, like a fantastic story in the manner of Hoffmann.
Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu belongs to the Études philosophiques of Balzac's La Comédie humaine; this school edition with complete text is part of Nathan's Carrés Classiques collection.
Edition aimed at high school students and the study of French literature in the French education system.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
