Produced by John Bickers, and Dagny, and David Widger "Eve and David" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel written in the early 19th century, specifically as part of Balzac's larger work "Lost Illusions." This book follows the lives of David Sechard and his wife Eve, focusing on their struggles in the printing industry and the challenges they face due to the ambitions of David’s brother-in-law, Lucien, who has gone to Paris in pursuit of literary fame. As David works to invent a method for producing cheap paper to secure a better future for Eve and Lucien, the couple is pulled into a web of economic and social struggles. The opening of "Eve and David" introduces us to David Sechard, who aspires to create a fortune for his wife and brother-in-law. After marrying Eve, David grapples with economic hardship and mounting debts while obsessed with solving the pressing problem of cheap paper production. Meanwhile, Eve takes a proactive stance to support their household by learning the intricacies of the printing business. The couple's optimism clashes with external pressures from competing printers and the encroaching failures of their family. As Eve begins to understand their precarious financial situation, tension mounts with the return of Lucien’s disastrous news from Paris, setting the stage for a narrative steeped in ambition, sacrifice, betrayal, and the trials of marriage.
