Autor

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a towering figure in French literature and one of the pioneers of literary realism. Born in Tours, France, Balzac is best known for his monumental series of interlinked novels and stories titled La Comédie Humaine ("The Human Comedy"), which presents a detailed and often critical portrait of French society in the early 19th century. With works such as Père Goriot, Eugénie Grandet, and Lost Illusions, Balzac created complex characters and vividly depicted the struggles of class, ambition, love, and power. His sharp observations, psychological depth, and innovative narrative techniques influenced countless writers, including Marcel Proust and Charles Dickens. Balzac's legacy endures as one of the foundational voices in the development of the modern novel
