Summary | "Par la faute de M. de Balzac" by André Maurois is a novel written in the early 20th century. This literary work explores the theme of personal ambition and the impact of literature on one's life choices, particularly how fictional characters and stories can influence our desires and decisions. The narrative is woven around a young academic, Lecadieu, whose life is significantly shaped by the works of Balzac and other literary figures, demonstrating the powerful intersection of literature and real-life experiences. The story centers on Lecadieu, a bright but inexperienced young man who finds himself in a tumultuous emotional entanglement with Thérèse Trélivan, the wife of a powerful politician. As he navigates his relationship with her amid the complexities of ambition and societal expectations, Lecadieu's aspirations and moral boundaries are tested. The novel intricately portrays his longing for recognition and success, juxtaposed with his struggles when faced with real-world consequences for his romantic pursuits. Ultimately, the plot culminates in Lecadieu's choice to leave with Thérèse, driven by a profound blend of idealism and practicality, which reflects upon the deeper themes of sacrifice and the fragility of human relationships as influenced by the impassioned stories they idolize.
