Story
Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

Story
One of the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. In 1833 he conceived the idea of linking together his novels so that they would comprehend the whole society in a series of books. This plan eventually led to 90 novels and novellas (including more than 2,000 characters) that he called "The Human Comedy". Balzac's huge and ambitious plan drew a picture of the customs, atmosphere, and habits of the bourgeois France.

Story
Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society.

Étudiant désargenté, Eugène de Rastignac est monté à Paris pour y faire son droit et y acquérir gloire et pouvoir. Il loge dans une pension miteuse et rencontre le père Goriot. Ancien négociant, il s'est ruiné pour ses filles qui, après leur mariage, ne lui témoignent qu'indifférence et mépris. Rastignac est alors confronté aux calculs sordides et à la noirceur du coeur humain. Il tire de cette expérience un sentiment de fatalité mais aussi une formidable volonté de conquête.

Story
En 1612 el joven Nicolas Poussin (18 años), lleno de ambición y ansiedad, se presenta en el taller de François Porbus (42 años), pintor en plena madurez que había estado al servicio de Enrique IV y que, tras su asesinato en 1610, fue "abandonado" por la regente María de Medicis. Allí Poussin coincide con Frenhofer, otro pintor ya anciano, muy reputado, quien critica un cuadro de Porbus presente en su taller y al cual da unas pinceladas que lo mejoran asombrosamente. Discuten y hablan acerca del arte, de teorías y actitudes artísticas, mostrando Frenhofer pasión y claridad de ideas.
