Its main character is a Parisian perfumier who achieves success in the cosmetics business, but becomes bankrupt due to property speculation. Un honnete parfumeur, a la tete d'une entreprise familiale, entreprend sur le conseil d'un notaire vereux de developper son commerce: desireux de couler l'huile de Macassar, qui lui fait concurrence, il invente l'Eau carminative et la Double Pate des Sultanes, decouvre la publicite et accede a la vente de masse. La maison Birotteau survivra-t-elle a ce reve de grandeur? Cesar Birotteau (1837), roman sur la bourgeoisie conquerante, sur le commerce et la finance, est aussi l'un des plus grands romans philosophiques de Balzac, ou l'on apprendra que le malheur est un marchepied pour le genie, une piscine pour le chretien, un tresor pour l'homme habile, pour les faibles un abime..". Adolphe, le plus fin des deux freres, un vrai loup-cervier, jeta sur Birotteau un regard qu'il faut appeler le regard du banquier, et qui tient de celui des vautours et des avoues... - Veuillez m'envoyer les actes sur lesquels repose l'affaire de la Madeleine, dit-il...Si l'affaire est bonne, nous pourrons, pour ne pas vous grever, nous contenter d'une part dans les benefices au lieu d'un escompte. - "Allons, se dit Birotteau..., je vois ce dont il s'agit. Comme le castor poursuivi, je dois me debarrasser d'une partie de ma peau. Il vaut mieux se laisser tondre que de mourir.""
