1983 PREFAZIONE DI FRANCESCO FIORENTINO, 211 PP. SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA COPERTINA (COME DA FOTO), LIEVI FIORITURE, OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI. In questo libro sono raccolte tre novelle della giovinezza di Balzac, tre episodi che aprono la "Commedia umana": "La casa del gatto che gioca": in questo esordio conta, forse più della caratterizzazione dei personaggi, quella dell'ambiente borghese a cui si riferisce il titolo. La bottega del mercante di stoffe è presentata come una fortezza in cui le buone maniere e la dedizione al lavoro tengono le giovani figlie al riparo dalle tentazioni esterne; questo non eviterà alla più giovane di tentare un salto sociale, forse troppo azzardato.L'artista Théodore de Sommervieux, prima grande figura di uomo d'arte che incontriamo nella commedia, è un vanesio che cerca nella mondanità la scorciatoia per l'ascesa sociale; questo lo porterà a disprezzare sempre più il concreto contegno borghese della moglie... "Gobseck": novella fondamentale. Anzitutto, si tratta del seguito di "Papà Goriot"; la figura di Gobseck, posta all'inizio della Commedia umana, è uno dei primi grandi avari balzachiani. Egli non è solo un usuraio; è un indagatore della vita sociale e delle sue tragedie. Egli deve vedere la persona che gli è debitrice, scrutarne i sentimenti, l'ambiente in cui vive... è quasi un alter-ego di Balzac stesso. Gobseck è una figura titanica nonchè grande teorico del denaro; diventerà egli stesso sempre più freddo come l'argento, come la cenere del caminetto davanti alla quale spirerà... Grandiosa nella sua inquetudine, una delle scene finali in cui Derville scopre le altre stanze della "magione" del vecchio avaro: camere piene di "patés ammuffiti, una quantità di commestibili d'ogni genere, e ostriche e pesci andati a male [...] scatole di ogni forma, casse di tè, balle di caffè". L'avarizia e un esercizio del potere spietato, teso solo alla sua autoconservazione fanno di Gobseck una delle figure di potente, (perchè tale era, tenendo nelle sue mani i destini di molti parigini) tra le più sinistre che la letteratura ci abbia restituito. "Il ballo di Sceaux": ne ho già parlato nel commento all'edizione Passigli.
