Summary

Honore de Balzac: Serafita

The novel Serafita (1799-1800) is the story of an angel, an androgynous, who undergoes his final earthly transformation on the Norwegian fjords. This unusual being appears to the wanderer Wilfrid in the form of a beautiful woman, Seraphita, and to the kind and bright Minna, the daughter of Pastor Becker, as Seraphitus, the embodiment of masculine wisdom and strength. Both mortals are in love with Seraphita-Serafitus, but the androgynous one has transcended earthly love, and his task is to discover the "way to heaven" for the human couple.
Seraphyta is undoubtedly Balzac's most seductive novel. Not only because it is based on the teachings of Swedenborg, but also because the androgen is presented as a being qualitatively different from other mortals. His "mystery" is not related to episodes from his past, but to the structure of his own existence.
Balzac positioned himself as a kind of prophet of the new Christian mysticism, therefore Seraphita represents his deviation from the earthly reality that he described so exhaustively in his novels.

Is there an IMAGINATION that, seeing on a map of the coast of Norway, would not be amazed by its unusual cuts, a long granite lace, where they are constantly sobbing North Sea waves? Who hasn't dreamed of the magnificent scenes that those shores offer without regret with their multitude of attractions, sinkholes, small bays, each of which is different and where each abyss is without a path? Would it not be said that nature liked to paint in indelible hieroglyphs the symbol of Norwegian life, giving those shores the relief of the bones of some huge fish? Fishing is the main trade and provides almost all the nutrition for a few people like sod lichens attached to those dry rocks. There, at fourteen degrees of longitude, there are scarcely seven hundred souls. Because of the dangers that do not follow the glory, the constant snows that those peaks of Norway, whose name already makes one cold, remain untouched by the dangers that do not follow the glory, the constant snows, their sublime beauties have remained untouched and will harmonize with human phenomena that poetry has not yet met, but which happened there and about them the story will follow. the locals call that small bay a fjord, a word that almost all geographers have tried to naturalize in their respected languages.
