Joseph Hémard Joseph Hémard, a popular French book illustrator, was born in Les Mureaux, France, a small town on the Seine, northwest of Paris, on 2 August 1880. He died on 9 August 1961 in Paris. He was a prolific artist. During the early years of the 20th century he published cartoons and comics in illustrated newspapers like "Le Pêle-mêle" or "Le Bon Vivant". He also designed costumes and sets for several operas, patterns for printed textiles, bookbindings, posters and even a facade for a bar in the 1925 Paris Exposition of Decorative Art. His lasting fame, however, lies in his book illustrations — always distinctly French in character and often erotic — which he produced for a great number of titles including many classics of French literature such as "Le Malade Imaginaire" (1920), " Gargantua et Pantagruel " (1922), "Jacques Le Fataliste" (1923), "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1927), and "Aucassin et Nicolette" (1936).

Le Médecin de campagne Le Médecin de campagne ("The Country Doctor") is an 1833 novel by Honoré de Balzac. The second in his Scène de la vie de campagne series, it addresses the author's own preoccupation with social organisation, political power and religion, though the reader has to avoid confusing Balzac's political principles with the convictions of Dr Benassis on which critics have often given contrary opinions. Some see the book as giving a sort of 20th century-type liberalism, while others see the premises of socialist thinking or fourierist tendencies. The book's romantic dimension has to be taken into account, despite quite a thin plot, connecting it with the world of Rousseau with an elogy on nature, peace and poetry. None of its characters appear elsewhere in "La Comédie humaine".

As is usual with Balzac, all the characters in the novel are fully realized. Balzac conceived his ambitious project, "The Human Comedy", while writing "Eugénie Grandet" and incorporated it into the "Comédie" by revising the names of some of the characters in the second edition, which he also dedicated to Maria Du Fresnay, his then-lover and mother of his daughter Marie-Caroline Du Fresnay, and, as was proved later on, the "real" Eugénie Grandet.
