Romanul Femeia la treizeci de ani povestește, alegând fundalul tulbure al războaielor napoleoniene, destinul unei frumoase doamne din înalta societate franceză de secol XIX. Uneori pasională, alteori pălind în fața eșecului, viața lui Julie d’Aiglemont se schimbă după iubirile care o frământă, fie ele venite din partea unui tată posesiv, a unui protejat al lui Napoleon, glorios, însă fără merite, ori a unui nobil englez care-i salvează viața, dar pe care dragostea față de frumoasa femeie îl duce la moarte.

Om forfatteren

Born on May 20, 1799, Honore de Balzac is considered one of the greatest French writers of all time. Balzac studied in Paris and worked as a law clerk while pursuing an unsuccessful career as an author. He soon accumulated enormous debts that haunted him most of his life. A prolific writer, Balzac would often write for 14 to-16 hours at a time. His writing is marked by realistic portrayals of ordinary, but exaggerated characters and intricate detail. In 1834, Balzac began organizing his works into a collection called The Human Comedy, an attempt to group his novels to present a complete social history of France. Characters in this project reappeared throughout various volumes, which ultimately consisted of approximately 90 works. Some of his works include Cesar Birotteau, Le Cousin Pons, Seraphita, and Le Cousine Bette. Balzac wed his lifelong love, Eveline Hanska in March 1850 although he was gravely ill at the time. Balzac died in August of that year.
