Beskrivelse af The Quest Of The Absolute
""The Quest of the Absolute"" is a novel written by Honore de Balzac, a French author widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. The novel was first published in 1834 and is part of Balzac's larger body of work known as ""The Human Comedy.""The story follows the life of a wealthy but eccentric aristocrat named Charles Bovary, who becomes obsessed with finding the secret of the universe and the ultimate truth of existence. He devotes his entire fortune and energy to the pursuit of this goal, neglecting his family and friends in the process.As Bovary's quest becomes more and more desperate, he becomes increasingly isolated and alienated from the world around him. He becomes convinced that the only way to attain the absolute truth is through a mystical experience, and he embarks on a dangerous and ultimately tragic journey to achieve this goal.Throughout the novel, Balzac explores themes of obsession, isolation, and the dangers of unchecked ambition. He also offers a critique of the aristocracy and the societal norms of his time, highlighting the destructive effects of privilege and entitlement.Overall, ""The Quest of the Absolute"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Balzac's vivid characters and insightful commentary on human nature make this novel a timeless classic of French literature.THIS 236 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Country Doctor; The Quest of the Absolute; and Other Novels, by Honore de Balzac.
