Herbert Hunt Herbert James Hunt (1899–1973), was an English academic, author and translator, particularly of the novels of Honoré de Balzac.
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".
