Beschrijving My Reading: Honoré de Balzac

A book on the experience of reading Honoré de Balzac's La Comédie Humaine which recounts the process of Peter Brooks's own discovery of Balzac.

This volume is a personal account of coming to terms with Balzac: moving from more classical and restrained authors to the highly-coloured melodramatic novels of the Human Comedy, which give us the dynamics of a new and challenging world on the threshold of modernity. It shows readers how to read, and to love reading, Balzac, and how to engage with his vast work.

King Lear

A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays' which 'often begin with lives falling apart: an event - shipwreck, exile, doubt, or unexpected love - derails what had seemed secure. Those who participate in the plays, as players, audience members, or readers, are invited to see in those events the vulnerability of their own lives.

Samuel Beckett

A book on the experience of reading the works of Samuel Beckett that covers key topics including Beckett's treatment of human emotion, the importance of doubt and second thoughts, his performances as a self-conscious narrator, his vexed relationship with memory and autobiography, and writing as company.
