Περί συμβολαιογράφων και δικηγόρων και πώς μπορούν να σας αφανίσουν την περιουσία

Rate this book
Το σατιρικό όσο και ρεαλιστικό αυτό κείμενο του μεγάλου γάλλου κλασικού συγγραφέα, έχει τίτλο «Περί συμβολαιογράφων και δικηγόρων» και υπότιτλο «και πώς μπορεί να σας αφανίσουν την περιουσία».
Δεν καταλογίζουν, όσα καταλογίζουν στο νομικό κόσμο της χώρας μόνο στην εποχή μας.

Το ίδιο συνέβαινε και στον 19ο αιώνα.
Εδώ ο Μπαλζάκ (1799-1850) διατυπώνει ανάλογες με τις σημερινές φαρμακερές απόψεις και σατιρικούς υπαινιγμούς.

Ας σημειωθεί, ότι και ο ίδιος είχε σπουδάσει νομικά και για ένα μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα εργάστηκε ως βοηθός συμβολαιογράφου.

Γράφει στον πρόλογο του βιβλίου: «Οι άνθρωποι αυτών των επαγγελμάτων έχουν ως κοινό χαρακτηριστικό την απάθεια. Δεν προσβάλλονται ό,τι και να τους πεις, αλλά ούτε και οι ίδιοι υπάρχει περίπτωση ποτέ να σε βρίσουν. Και πώς να σε βρίσουν, άλλωστε, αφού έχουν συνέχεια το στόμα μπουκωμένο;»

Honoré de Balzac

9,590 books4,404 followers
French writer Honoré de Balzac (born Honoré Balzac), a founder of the realist school of fiction, portrayed the panorama of society in a body of works, known collectively as La comédie humaine .

Honoré de Balzac authored 19th-century novels and plays. After the fall of Napoléon in 1815, his magnum opus, a sequence of almost a hundred novels and plays, entitled, presents life in the years.

Due to keen observation of fine detail and unfiltered representation, European literature regards Balzac. He features renowned multifaceted, even complex, morally ambiguous, full lesser characters. Character well imbues inanimate objects; the city of Paris, a backdrop, takes on many qualities. He influenced many famous authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust, Émile Zola, Charles John Huffam Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Henry James, and Jack Kerouac as well as important philosophers, such as Friedrich Engels. Many works of Balzac, made into films, continue to inspire.

An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac adapted with trouble to the teaching style of his grammar. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. Balzac finished, and people then apprenticed him as a legal clerk, but after wearying of banal routine, he turned his back on law. He attempted a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician before and during his career. He failed in these efforts From his own experience, he reflects life difficulties and includes scenes.

Possibly due to his intense schedule and from health problems, Balzac suffered throughout his life. Financial and personal drama often strained his relationship with his family, and he lost more than one friend over critical reviews. In 1850, he married Ewelina Hańska, his longtime paramour; five months later, he passed away.

B.R.A.CE. 2018 Ένα βιβλίο για το επάγγελμά σου (ή ένα επάγγελμα που θα ήθελες)

Για το συγκεκριμένο θα θυμηθώ απλά την παρακάτω σκηνή από την ταινία Φιλαδέλφεια:

At the climax, Andrew Becket (Tom Hanks) poses this riddle to Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), his lawyer who's paying a visit to the hospital to congratulate Andy for his legal victory.

Andy asks, "So, what do you call a thousand lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean?" When Joe gives up, Andy divulges, "A good start!"
