Features: This book is one of the representative works of the French writer Balzac. Set against the backdrop of Paris during the Restoration period, it portrays the images of two provincial young men. One is an ambitious, vain young poet named Lucien, who dreams of entering the upper class of Paris with his intelligence and talent, but ultimately ends up ruined and disgraced, returning to his hometown in disgrace; the other is a simple-hearted, dedicated inventor and industrialist named David.
