«Los pequeños burgueses» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Paris after the Revolution, the novel follows the rise of the bourgeois class and its drive to accumulate power and capital, an ambition that ends up reproducing the vices of the aristocracy. The narrative thread is formed by the intersecting lives of Jerónimo, a young man of humble origins, and Thuillier, a former conqueror in decline.
It belongs to «La Comédie Humaine» (position 51), within «Escenas de la vida parisina»; its original title is «Les Petits Bourgeois» and the translation is by Lino Novás Calvo.
For readers of classic French fiction and Balzac's narratives about nineteenth-century bourgeois society.
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.
