About the author

Honoré de Balzac

1799–1850

Best known for the vast world of La Comédie humaine, this French novelist turned ordinary ambitions, debts, scandals, and desires into stories that still feel startlingly alive. His books helped shape literary realism by showing society in all its energy, vanity, and struggle.
