Balzac studied in Paris and worked as a law clerk while pursuing an unsuccessful career as an author. He soon accumulated enormous debts that haunted him most of his life. A prolific writer, Balzac would often write for 14 to-16 hours at a time. His writing is marked by realistic portrayals of ordinary, but exaggerated characters and intricate detail. In 1834, Balzac began organizing his works into a collection called The Human Comedy, an attempt to group his novels to present a complete social history of France. Characters in this project reappeared throughout various volumes, which ultimately consisted of approximately 90 works. Some of his works include Cesar Birotteau, Le Cousin Pons, Seraphita, and Le Cousine Bette. Balzac wed his lifelong love, Eveline Hanska in March 1850 although he was gravely ill at the time. Balzac died in August of that year. (Bowker Author Biography) — biography from Old Goriot … (more) |

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.
