Modeste Mignon is a novel by the French writer Honore de Balzac. It is the fifth of the Scenes de la vie privee (Scenes of Private Life) in La Comedie humaine. The first part of the novel was serialized in a bowdlerized edition in the Journal des debats in April, May and July 1844. A revised and expanded version of the work was later published by Chlenowski in two parts under the titles Modeste Mignon and Les Trois amoureux (The Three Suitors). The third and final edition of the novel appeared in 1846 as part of Furne's complete edition of La Comedie humaine. Modeste Mignon was the third work in Volume 4, or the twenty-third of the Scenes de la vie privee.
