Henry René Albert Guy de Maupassant gilt neben Balzac, Flaubert und Zola als einer der großen französischen Erzähler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Durchbruch als Autor gelang ihm 1880 mit der meisterhaften psychologischen Novelle „Boule de suif”. In den nächsten zwölf Jahren schrieb er mit rasch wachsendem Prestige und Einkommen vor allem erzählende Werke. Sein Leben blieb unruhig: Er hatte wechselnde Geliebte, unternahm lange Reisen unter anderem nach Nordafrika, wohnte in der Normandie, in Cannes und Antibe. 1893 starb er in einer psychiatrischen Klinik an den Folgen einer Syphilis-Erkrankung.
Simone Kabst spielte nach ihrem Studium in Stuttgart u. a. an der Schaubühne und am Maxim-Gorki-Theater in Berlin. Immer wieder ist sie in Film- und Fernsehrollen zu sehen, sie ist eine gefragte Sprecherin für Features, Audioguides und Hörspiele.

His Human Comedy ended up consisting of over one hundred interlinked stories and novels, and featured a cast of some two thousand characters. One of the earliest components of this enormous body of work was a never-completed four-part Pathology of Social Life, which would have most likely incorporated this Treatise. Balzac’s physiologies and nonfiction sociological studies read like the casebooks of a sociological Sherlock Holmes, and remain the least-known components to Balzac's sprawling Comedy. Wakefield Press will follow this volume with further English editions of Balzac’s previously untranslated “social pathologies.” | |
