Illusions perdues in English, Lost Illusions is a serial novel written by the French writer Honor de Balzac between 1837 and 1843. It consists of three parts, starting in provincial France, thereafter moving to Paris, and finally returning to the provinces. The book resembles another of Balzac's greatest novels, La Rabouilleuse (The Black Sheep, 1842), that is set in Paris and in the provinces. It forms part of the Scnes de la vie de province in La Comdie humaine.
