Technique, industrialization and capitalism are the tonic of French society of the 19th century. The mercantilization of literature, phenomenon from various implications, as literacy and new techniques of production and distribution, is analyzed with the theoretical contribution of authors such as Roger Chartier (2009), Christophe Charle (1991) and Renato Ortiz (2001). In Balzac we analyze two works of his The Human Comedy, namely: Lost Illusions (1835-1845) and Eugénie Grandet (1833). The frustrations of the young Lucien of the Lost Illusions are put into review in relations between province and capital, as well as the conflict between the rich bourgeoisie and the aristocracy who sought to maintain a noble tradition. Avarice and evil are candescent elements in Eugénie Grandet, in so far as Mister Grandet is commanded by an excessive avarice. In the relationship with his daughter Eugenie and all around her, emotional ties are broken by the love of money, so the notion of experience is dull. We treat these works in the light of experts as Nicole Mozet (1998), Paulo Rónai (2012), François Taillandier (2005) and still Pierre-Louis Rey (1979), Paul Ricoeur (1988), JoëlleGleize (1994). In Benjamin, we'll treat some fundamental elements of his thought: loss of experience, the notion of history and the loss of aura. These elements are contained in his great project of Passages, and also in primary texts as the Theses on the Philosophy of History (1940), his essay about Baudelaire or also Experience and poverty (1933). Fund of authors as Lukács (1999), Sergio Paulo Rouanet (2005), Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2009), Karl Marx (2008), Theodor Adorno (1985), Hannah Arendt (2010) show up with pertinent issues to Benjamin's thought. The flâneur, gaming and prostitution figures, highlighted by Benjamin will be an important link in decoding the intricacies of France of the 19th century, also establishing a link with the work of Balzac and literature then produced. That same France coveted titles of obsolet nobility, while selling literature as it sells a cap or any other industrialized object.
