Book: The Tall Old Man
Author: [f] Balzac
Publisher: Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House
Publication date: January 2019
isbn：9787559422354
[Reason for Recommendation] "The Tall Old Man" is a novel by the French writer Balzac, written in 1834. This work is of representative significance in showing the breadth and depth of social life, in reflecting the progressiveness and limitations of the writer's world view, and in expressing the artistic achievements and shortcomings of "Comedy on Earth". His artistic style is one of the works that best represents balzac's characteristics.
【Introduction】The story begins in a building in Paris called the Fuguet Apartment. Two daughters, one became a countess and the other a banker's wife, while the old father, who had only a few hundred francs of living expenses left a year, had to do everything in his power to raise money to pay off their debts, and finally he died poorly in the attic on the left bank of the Seine. Poor students who want to squeeze into high society, thieves who are good at disguise, apartment owners who are afraid of things... From the poor and shabby alleys between the Latin Quarter and the San Marceau Pass, to the palatial aristocratic mansions of Saint-Germain, a dazzling Parisian society slowly emerges...
【About the Author】
Balzac honorédebalzac
（1799－1850）
His full name was Honoré de Balzac, a French novelist known as the "father of the modern French novel", born into a middle-class family in Tours, central France.
Balzac wrote 91 novels and created 2,472 lifelike characters, collectively known as The Comedy of Man. The Comedy of Man has been hailed as "the encyclopedia of capitalist society."
【Wonderful Book Review】
Picking out one of Balzac's many profound and interesting novels is not an easy task. But since I personally think that "Tall Old Man" is more representative of his thrilling and complex writing, I recommend this book to readers.
- Maugham
As we know, for the most part, the 19th century was Balzac's century.
- Wilde
In terms of image and depth, no one can match Balzac.
- Francis
In front of Balzac's vivid and realistic figures, the ancient Greek and Roman characters became pale and weak, trembling, and the medieval characters fell to the ground like toy lead soldiers.
- Zola
French novelists want to talk about greatness, first of all Balzac. His whole being is possessed by literature and sucked dry by works. There will be no balzac again for humanity. Fortunately we already have him.
- Wooden heart

[Share the recommendation] The recommendation has always been something I am willing to do, because reading is both a one-person affair and not a one-person thing. The so-called "one-person thing" is because reading is not a group act, and when you face the green light and yellow scroll alone, you can also think of thousands of miles, look at thousands of years, and have a relationship with the ancient sages. In this sense, reading is not afraid of loneliness, and even expects the time and ability to be lonely. The so-called "not a one-person thing" is because the Book of Rites has a cloud: "If you study alone and have no friends, you are lonely and unheard." A person who looks at people, things, and books may fall into the problem of "not knowing the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because he is in this mountain", and sharing his own experience with others can not only gain deeper and broader insights, but also inspire the vision and thinking of his peers, so that information and insights can be disseminated on a larger scale. This is also true of sharing testimonials. If you share the books that you think are the most worth reading, or even read and read again, and think about it with everyone, you will be happy with others!
