"Lost Illusions" is one of the masterpieces of the famous French writer Honore de Balzac. In this novel, the author tells the story of a young poet, Luc Rubempre, who arrives in Paris to fulfill his dream of popularity and fame. But quickly confronted with the harsh reality of the literary world, he begins to understand that his illusions of high glamor are not what he imagined.
Balzac reveals the theme of fraud, corruption, crime and bigotry prevailing in literary circles, giving the prerequisites of these phenomena and their consequences against the background of the constant dreams of an illusory poet.
"Lost Illusions" is a work that leaves the reader thinking about the essence of human destiny, at the cost of trying to change the great reality."
