BiographyHistory

Regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature, Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright best known for his series of short stories and novels which examine French life in the years after the 1815 fall of Napoleon. Balzac's keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society and his multifaceted and complex characters influenced many later authors.
