Summary

"Ah, c'est un grand tableau. Ce sera plus grand, plus vaste que ce que j'ai fait jusqu'alors", écrit Honoré de Balzac à Mme Hanska, à propos de César Birotteau, roman dans lequel l'auteur poursuit son catalogue raisonné des types humains représentatifs de leur milieu.

Qui est César Birotteau ? Un "honnête" parfumeur, à la tête d'une entreprise familiale, qui entreprend sur le conseil d'un notaire véreux de développer son commerce. Survivra-t-il à sa chimère ? Cette chronique de la bourgeoisie conquérante, des malignités du commerce et de la finance, est ici magnifiquement rapportée par la voix modulée et truculente de Jean-Claude Dreyfus.
