As Balzac nears death, his life unfolds in vivid recollection. A youthful writer hungry for greatness, he begins printing and publishing with the encouragement of Laure de Berny, though early efforts yield little success. Ultimately, his pen—bolstered by Madame de Berny’s steadfast support—wins him lasting fame, and his work becomes widely read and celebrated.
