Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the social and religious ideas of French writer Honorà de Balzac (1799-1850), a prominent figure in the literary movement known as realism. The author analyzes Balzac's critique of French society in the 19th century, particularly his observations on the plight of the rural poor and the decline of religious influence in rural communities. Through a close reading of Balzac's novels, including "The Country Doctor" and "The Village Priest," the author explores Balzac's ideas on social reform, the role of the Church in society, and the complex relationship between social and economic conditions and religious belief. The book offers valuable insights into Balzac's social and religious thought and its relevance to understanding the social and religious transformations of 19th-century France.
