«Le Chef-d'œuvre inconnu» is a collection of three stories by Honoré de Balzac, published by Flammarion in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The volume brings together three fictions by Balzac on art, music and passion. In the title story, an ageing painter has spent years pursuing a masterpiece no one has seen, while two younger artists try to understand its mystery. Gambara tackles musical obsession through a composer whose talent oscillates between genius and delirium. Massimilla Doni delves into the romantic entanglements of Italian society and the beauty of opera.
Introductions, notes and documents by Marc Eigeldinger and Max Milner. Number 365 in the Garnier-Flammarion collection.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
