Le Colonel Chabert est un court roman d'Honoré de Balzac, qui paraît sous sa forme définitive en 1844. Il pénètre dans les Scènes de la vie privée de La Comédie humaine dont il est l'un des principaux romans. Il est dédié à Ida du Chasteler, qui a dessiné pour Balzac les blasons imaginaires des familles deLa Comédie humaine. Le Colonel Chabert, en tant que tel, est une parenthèse émouvante dans la galerie de portraits balzaciens, un hommage rendu aux grognards de Napoléon Ier.

Le Colonel Chabert (English: Colonel Chabert) is an 1832 novella by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850). It is included in his series of novels (or Roman-fleuve) known as La Comédie humaine (The Human Comedy), which depicts and parodies French society in the period of the Restoration (1815-1830) and the July Monarchy (1830-1848).

Dans la vieille Bretagne aristocratique, à Guérande enceinte de ses puissantes murailles, le jeune Calyste du Guénic cherche un idéal de vie que semble lui offrir la fréquentation de Félicité des Touches, écrivaine et musicienne déjà célèbre sous le pseudonyme de Camille Maupin. Mais Calyste a un rival: Claude Vignon, auteur célèbre et soupirant assidu de Félicité. Quand la marquise Béatrix de Rochefide et son amant Conti, un musicien autrefois amant de Félicité, arrivent au château, Calyste est poussé dans les bras de la marquise par Félicité elle-même. Alors qu'il vit un amour bref et intense avec Béatrix, Conti lui enlève soudainement la femme qu'il aime. Le jeune Breton tombe dans un abattement dont Félicité elle-même le tirera en l'emmenant à Paris et en favorisant son mariage avec Sabine de Grandlieu, avant de se retirer au couvent. Toutefois, il retrouvera les bras de la marquise, quittée par Gennaro Conti, au grand dam de son épouse.

En septembre 1799, aux confins de la Normandie et de la Bretagne, une troupe républicaine dirigée par le commandant Hulot se fait attaquer par des paysans bretons, les Chouans, qui se battent pour le retour du roi. Fouché, le ministre de la police, souhaite stopper cette nouvelle insurrection de la Bretagne. Il envoie la belle espionne Marie de Verneuil pour séduire leur chef charismatique, le marquis de Montauran, que l'on appelle le Gars. Elle doit, avec l'aide de Corentin, le bras droit de Fouché, un policier ambitieux et peu scrupuleux, le faire tomber dans un piège.

La marquise de Listomère ne laisserait jamais un galant lui faire la cour, même si peu que ce soit. Jusqu'au jour où elle rencontre le très jeune, très beau Eugène de Rastignac (il a un visage d'ange) qui attire son attention sans qu'il cherche à la séduire. Le lendemain, Eugène adresse deux lettres, l'une à son avoué, l'autre à sa maîtresse Delphine de Nucingen. Par étourderie, il se trompe d'adresse et c'est la marquise de Listomère qui reçoit une brûlante lettre d'amour de quatre pages. Prétendument choquée, mais en réalité ravie, la marquise fait consigner Rastignac à sa porte et lui interdit l'entrée de son hôtel. Eugène ne se rend compte de son erreur qu'à ce moment-là et rétablit la vérité auprès de la marquise, qui, de dépit, se calfeutre chez elle, prétextant une gastrite.

Towards three o'clock in the afternoon of one October day in the year 1844, a man of sixty or thereabouts, whom anybody might have credited with more than his actual age, was walking along the Boulevard des Italiens with his head bent down, as if he were tracking some one. There was a smug expression about the mouth-he looked like a merchant who has just done a good stroke of business, or a bachelor emerging from a boudoir in the best of humors with himself; and in Paris this is the highest degree of self-satisfaction ever registered by a human countenance.

Résumé À Douai, la maison Claës abrite une des familles les plus célèbres et plus authentiquement flamandes de la région. Balthazar Claës, homme riche et cultivé mène la vie heureuse d'un grand bourgeois flamand. Il a été l'élève de Lavoisier avec lequel il a étudié la chimie. Il adore la femme qu'il a épousée en 1795, et le bonheur de la famille est complet, jusqu'au jour où, en 1810, Balthazar reçoit la visite d'un mathématicien polonais devenu soldat pour gagner sa vie. L'homme expose à Claës le point précis où il en est arrivé dans sa tentative de décomposer les corps simples afin de découvrir le principe de la matière. Après le départ de l'officier polonais, Balthazar est pris par le démon de la recherche. Saisi d'une véritable fièvre, il passe de coûteuses commandes de produits chimiques, il s'enferme dans son laboratoire de chimie avec son valet, il néglige sa femme et ses quatre enfants, et il conduit sa famille à la ruine. L'intrigue oppose la famille et le dévouement filial à la recherche obsessionnelle du savant, toujours sur le point de trouver l'absolu et toujours échouant, jusqu'à sa mort. Le roman couvre une longue période (1810-1832) qui suit les ruines successives de la famille Claës. Chaque fois, la fortune est miraculeusement reconstituée, grâce à la prévoyance de la mère qui meurt de désespoir, puis à la sagesse et à la fermeté de la fille aînée, Marguerite, que l'on pourrait rapprocher d'Eugénie Grandet dans son rôle de jeune fille modèle. Marguerite dirige de fait la maison, tout en laissant à son père l'illusion qu'il garde son autorité sur la famille. La déchéance de Balthazar est décrite avec passion et minutie par un Balzac lui-même ébloui par l'idée d'absolu. Le roman offre aussi un tableau éclatant des moeurs de la ville de Douai et des splendeurs de la maison Claës. Même s'il ne fait pas partie intégrante du vaste tableau social de la Comédie humaine, la Recherche de l'absolu est un des textes les plus attachants de Balzac. Il traite de la recherche de la perfection, thème que l'on retrouve dans Illusions perdues (le papier parfait pour l'imprimerie Séchard) et Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (une peinture plus forte que la réalité).

César Birotteau, parfumeur enrichi par ses découvertes qui font fureur, et auquel on va remettre la Légion d'honneur, décide de transformer sa maison bourgeoise en véritable palais pour donner à la fin de l'année 1818 un bal à l'occasion du retrait des troupes d'occupation de France. Ses dépenses somptuaires, qui effraient sa femme et son fidèle employé Anselme Popinot (secrètement amoureux de Mademoiselle Birotteau), lui donnent un vertige d'ambition qui l'amène à risquer toute sa fortune. Le notaire maître Roguin flaire en Birotteau une dupe potentielle, et il l'entraîne dans une affaire de spéculation immobilière dans le quartier de la Madeleine à Paris. Birotteau a en effet besoin d'argent car les travaux de transformation de sa maison et le nouveau train de vie qu'il veut y mener ont sérieusement entamé son patrimoine...

"Come, deputy of the Centre, forward! Quick step! march! if we want to be in time to dine with the others. Jump, marquis! there, that's right! why, you can skip across a stubble-field like a deer!" These words were said by a huntsman peacefully seated at the edge of the forest of Ile-Adam, who was finishing an Havana cigar while waiting for his companion, who had lost his way in the tangled underbrush of the wood. At his side four panting dogs were watching, as he did, the personage he addressed.

Half-way down the Rue Saint-Denis, almost at the corner of the Rue du Petit-Lion, there stood formerly one of those delightful houses which enable historians to reconstruct old Paris by analogy. The threatening walls of this tumbledown abode seemed to have been decorated with hieroglyphics. For what other name could the passer-by give to the Xs and Vs which the horizontal or diagonal timbers traced on the front, outlined by little parallel cracks in the plaster? It was evident that every beam quivered in its mortices at the passing of the lightest vehicle. This venerable structure was crowned by a triangular roof of which no example will, ere long, be seen in Paris.

There is a general cry of paradox when scholars, struck by some historical error, attempt to correct it; but, for whoever studies modern history to its depths, it is plain that historians are privileged liars, who lend their pen to popular beliefs precisely as the newspapers of the day, or most of them, express the opinions of their readers. Historical independence has shown itself much less among

Suddenly he became silent. His grave and earnest face lost its expression of joy; he was comparing the immensity of his hopes with the mediocrity of his means. The walls of the garret were covered with bits of paper on which were crayon sketches; he possessed only four clean canvases. Colors were at that time costly, and the poor gentleman gazed at a palette that was well-nigh bare.
