Novel. "Balzac depicts more forcefully than anyone else ever has the way a whole life and a whole family can be destroyed when an individual is taken over by unbridled passion"-Gustave Lanson. In Balzac's classic study of obsession, a chance meeting changes Balthazar Claes' life as it introduces him to alchemy and initiates his quest of the absolute. Throughout, our sympathy is equally divided between Balthazar's single-minded determination to push back the frontiers of knowledge at whatever price, and the ruin of his family. THE QUEST OF THE ABSOLUTE was first published in France in 1834 and appears in a new edition from Dedalus, translated by Ellen Marriage and with an afterword and chronology by Christopher Smith.
