«Philosophie de la vie conjugale» is Honoré de Balzac's satirical work, published by Folio in paperback (85 pages, in French).
Balzac portrays with irony the small miseries and misunderstandings of marriage: attentions that cool, gestures that irritate, and routines that wear down coexistence. Faced with these everyday conflicts, he proposes confronting them with philosophy, pragmatism, humour and empathy, as a possible recipe for making life as a couple work.
It was originally published in 1846 under the title Petites Misères de la vie conjugale. It belongs to Balzac's La comedia humana, where it occupies position 89.
Recommended for readers of nineteenth-century French literature and for those who enjoy classic satire on life as a couple.
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.
