Alchemy and Spirituality: subtle kinship between two worlds in pursuit of a purity not found. And God conspicuously absent, which makes up the Absolute. Balthazar Claes, Flemish bourgeois family, chasing the unreachable star of his wildest dreams: decompose to produce carbon the purest diamond.
decompose But, is it create? ... A question that applies in conjunction with creative writing. Metaphor fruitful for Balzac manages to close its new while Balthazar does his own grail that supreme moment of his disappearance.
The great novelist of the nineteenth always showed empathy for the characters above, large misunderstood symbols of romantic imagery. A real lesson lies behind these metaphysical texts of desire that burns souls like the body: "The glory is the sun of the dead" .
Josephine Claes, Balthazar's wife, ugly woman, a "beautiful ugliness" (oxymoron Balzac), certainly has the beauty of dedication, intelligence, sympathy. But Can a rival cons like science? ... It must be reduced to the misfortune of her husband in the spoiling.
As "unknown masterpiece" (1831), Balzac celebrates painting thought in the narrative. The pictorial narration of a feeds "lukewarm Flemish" which spreads the passion of gold digger (another oxymoron). Lights and Shadows, the house Claes is depicted in the manner of a Vermeer. Tribute to all the Dutch culture: the paradigm of painting gives the novelist a zone of neutrality which may unfold over time stretched - almost thirty years - the quest suspension, and finally a utopia which admits torture.
Gradually, Balthazar collapses, burns, turns off, the image of time running away. Excluded from everywhere and by everyone, he leads his family into ruin. And it is art itself is sacrificed to his passion: the great paintings of the family are sold on behalf of the devouring flame.
While old painter Frenhofer the "unknown masterpiece" was engaged in a frenzied dissection of life, Claes, conversely, materializes, "chemicalization" feelings in modern fiction of the "Mad Scientist ". Between Prometheus and Faust Franckenstein, Balzac puts Western man's religious challenge to the scientific challenge. Runaway in the world and done this, the learned monomaniac is felt as pleasant or disturbing, as it is, by its delay, distraction unbreakable. Balthazar Claes misunderstood genius: the ambiguity is at the heart of Balzac's fiction.
Also the much desired victory coincides she with the ultimate defeat. The finest achievements of the writer Balzac is primarily the story of a failed quest. But a failure that does not drown in pessimism is still in a dynamic. By blowing the truth does not exist, the novelist is never where one expects.
"Between the yardstick of Savant and vertigo du Fou, he writes, is emerging space fascinating and risky of all possible existential and poetic" .
