驴皮记

驢皮記》(La Peau de chagrin),法國作家巴爾扎克巨著《人間喜劇》系列作品,1831年發表,是“哲理研究”中最有世界影響的一篇,甫出版就引起了德國文豪歌德的強烈興趣,他說“生命裡有二種悲劇,一是得不到任何的悲劇;一是得到一切後的悲劇。”並斷言“這是一部新型的小說”。

小說敘述一名貴族出身的青年瓦朗坦破產後投身到社交場所,落得窮途未路,準備投水自殺時,一個古董商給了他一張印有天竺文字的驢皮,這張驢皮能為主人實現任何願望,但願望一經實現,驢皮會立刻縮小,自己的壽命也隨之縮短。瓦朗坦開始從擄獲金錢的快感,去填壑無盡的慾望,另一方面象徵他生命的驢皮也逐步的縮小,將他帶往死亡,瓦朗坦猛然驚覺,死神已臨近身旁,眼睜睜地看着自己的末日來臨。
