Produced by John Bickers, and Dagny, and David Widger "Two Poets" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel written in the early 19th century. This work begins a trilogy that follows the intertwined lives of the main characters Lucien Chardon, his sister Eve, and their friend David, set against the backdrop of the provincial town of Angouleme. It explores their ambitions, dreams, and the harsh realities of social and economic constraints, particularly in the realm of literature and printing. At the start of "Two Poets," we are introduced to the character of Jerome-Nicolas Sechard, a pressman who unexpectedly inherits a small printing house. The narrative delves into Sechard's background and character—a man of limited education who harbors an avaricious nature. As he prepares to transfer his business to his educated son, David, the novel sets the stage for conflicts revolving around ambition, familial bonds, and the striving for artistic recognition. Simultaneously, we see the parallel story of Lucien Chardon, a young poet who longs for success and struggles against societal boundaries, already foreshadowing the contrasting ambitions and fates that will define their relationships as the story unfolds.
