Review - French De 1958 a 1962, les editions Rencontre publient a LausanneLes OEuvres de Balzacen trente volumes prefaces par Roland Chollet. Cette edition, qui sera ensuite diffusee en trente-sept volumes par le Cercle du Bibliophile, contient les ouvrages faisant partie deLa Comedie humaine, lesContes drolatiques, le theatre et les romans de jeunesse de Balzac. Elle possede la particularite d'etre la seule edition existante a suivre l'ordre chronologique de publication. La reunion des prefaces de cette edition chronologique forme donc, tout naturellement, l'un des textes les plus acheves qui aient jamais ete ecrits sur le deroulement de la creation balzacienne.
