TWO POETS
(Lost Illusions Part I)
BY
HONORE DE BALZAC

Translated By
Ellen Marriage

PREPARER'S NOTE
Two Poets is part one of a trilogy and begins the story of
Lucien, his sister Eve, and his friend David in the provincial
town of Angouleme. Part two, A Distinguished Provincial at
Paris is centered on Lucien's Parisian life. Part three, Eve
and David, reverts to the setting of Angouleme. In many
references parts one and three are combined under the title
Lost Illusions and A Distinguished Provincial at Paris is given
its individual title. Following this trilogy Lucien's story
is continued in another book, Scenes from a Courtesan's Life.

DEDICATION
To Monsieur Victor Hugo,

crouching in the subterranean places of journalism.
