Аннотация
Honoré de Balzac's 1830 <I>Treatise on Elegant Living</I> was a keystone text on dandyism, preceding Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's <I>Anatomy of Dandyism</I> (1845) and Charles Baudelaire's “The Dandy” (in <I>The Painter of Modern Life</I>, 1863), and marking an important shift from the early dandyism of the British Regency to the intellectual and artistic dandyism of nineteenth-century France. The <I>Treatise</I> is the first true philosophical expression of dandyism, and is full of well-crafted aphorisms: “Elegant living is, in the broad acceptance of the term, the art of animating repose,” runs one classic definition of dandyism, and “One must have studied at least as far as rhetoric to lead an elegant life” asserts the importance of verbal pirouette and dexterous quipping to the dandy. Further embellished with anecdotes and historical and personal illustrations, Balzac's <I>Treatise</I> even features a fictitious encounter with the original dandy himself, Beau Brummell. Never before translated into English, this witty tract makes for an illuminating cornerstone to Balzac's <I>Human Comedy</I> (which was originally to have included a never-completed four-part philosophical “Pathology of Social Life”). Above all, it represents a decisive moment in the history of dandyism, and an entertaining exposition on the profundities of what lies deepest within all of us: our appearance.

A les acaballes d'un sopar a casa d'un banquer parisenc en honor d'un home de negocis alemany, el convidat explica una història de por: l'any 1799, dos joves estudiants de medicina mobilitzats durant les guerres napoleòniques van a trobar el seu regiment en una petita ciutat alemanya. Allà s'allotgen a L'hostal vermell, on coincideixen amb un negociant alemany, amb qui comparteixen sopar i habitació. Aquest els explica que a la seva bossa hi porta cent mil francs en or i diamants. Un dels dos joves somia que mata el negociant i s'apodera dels seus diners. L'endemà, en despertar-se, descobreix horroritzat que el negociant alemany és mort i el seu company ha fugit.

Donat per mort, el febrer de 1807, sobre el camp de batalla d'Eylau, a Prússia, el coronel Chabert, company d'armes de Napoleó, no pot tornar a París, després d'un llarg peregrinatge, fins al 1818, ja durant la Restauració monàrquica. Allà descobreix que la seva casa ha estat enderrocada, la seva fortuna repartida, i que la seva dona s'ha tornat a casar amb el comte Ferraud, home ben vist pel nou poder. Chabert apel·larà a la llei per mirar de recuperar el seu nom, el seu rang, els seus béns, la seva fortuna i la seva dona. Però el món s'ha capgirat, la societat ha canviat, la vida ha seguit el seu curs. Malgrat l'ajut del procurador Derville, Hyacinthe Chabert es deixa enganyar per la comtessa, però acaba refusant una «transacció» en què perdria el seu honor. Prefereix abandonar el lloc i no ser més que l'intern número 164, en l'anonimat d'un hospici per a vells.
