Au Hasard Balthazar
''Au hasard Balthazar'' (; meaning "Balthazar, at Random"), also known as ''Balthazar'', is a 1966 tragedy film directed by Robert Bresson. Believed to be inspired by a passage from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1868–69 novel ''The Idiot'', the film follows a donkey as he is given to various owners, most of whom treat him callously. Noted for Bresson's ascetic directorial style and regarded as a work of profound emotional effect, it is frequently listed as one of the greatest films of all time. Plot In the French countryside near the Pyrenees, a baby donkey is adopted by young children—Jacques and his sisters—who live on a farm. They baptize the donkey, christening it Balthazar, along with Marie, Jacques's childhood sweetheart, whose father is the teacher at the small school next door. When one of Jacques's sisters dies, his family vacates the farm, and Marie's family takes it over in an informal arrangement. The donkey is given to local farmhands, who work it relentlessly.

Balthazar (magus)
Balthazar, also called Balthasar, Balthassar, and Bithisarea, was, according to Western Christian tradition, one of the three biblical Magi along with Caspar and Melchior who visited the infant Jesus after he was born. Balthazar is traditionally referred to as the King of Arabia and gave the gift of myrrh to Jesus. In the Catholic Church, he is regarded as a saint (as are the other two Magi). Tradition The Gospel of Matthew does not give the names of the Magi (or even how many there were), but their traditional names are ascribed to a Greek manuscript from 500 AD translated into Latin and commonly accepted as the source of the names. In this original manuscript, Balthazar is called Bithisarea, which later developed into Balthazar in Western Christianity. In early artistic depictions, Balthazar was represented as a white man. In an 8th century text by the author Pseudo-Bede, he is described as being "a dark, fully bearded king”. From the 13th century onwards, he was oc ...

Balthazar (novel)
''Balthazar'', published in 1958, is the second volume in The Alexandria Quartet series by British author Lawrence Durrell. Set in Alexandria, Egypt, around World War II, the four novels tell essentially the same story from different points of view and come to a conclusion in ''Clea (novel), Clea''. ''Balthazar'' is the first novel in the series that presents a competing narrator, Balthazar, who writes back to the narrating Darley in his "great interlinear". Epigraphs and citations Durrell initially titled the book ''Justine II'' in his drafts. The novel includes several last minute changes to the publisher's proofs, perhaps most significantly the replacement and expansion of the novel's introductory note. This begins: "The characters and situations in this novel, the second of a group – a sibling, not a sequel to ''Justine (Durrell novel), Justine''...." And later: "Three sides of space and one of time constitute the soup-mix recipe of a continuum. The four novels follow th ...
