Publisher's Synopsis
It is not by chance that I bring together in a single book these three essays on Balzac, Dickens and Dostoevsky. With a common purpose I try to show the three great novelists of the 19th century as prototypes because of the contrast of their personalities complement each other and perhaps elevate in a clear and distinct way the concept of the novelist, that is, the forger of epic worlds... Each of these artists creates a law of life, a concept of life, with the plethora of their figures, and highlights them with such harmony that thanks to him the world takes on a new shape. Stefan Zweig
