Honoré de Balzac was a French writer and dramatist. The book series La Comédie Humaine, which depicts a prospect of post-Napoleonic French life, is commonly beheld as his greatest work.

Due to his profound thought of particulars and unstrained portrayal of community, he is considered as among the founders of realism in the literature of Europe. He is famous for his creations with many features, even his minor creations are multifarious, justly abstruse and wholly mortal. Impassive things are instilled with liveliness too, the city of Paris, a setting for many of his works, brings on several human traits. His work inspired countless outstanding authors, such as Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac, and Henry James, movie producers Akira Kurosawa and Eric Rohmer also significant philosophers including Friedrich Engels. Most of Honoré’s writings have been adapted into motion pictures, and they remain to influence other novelists.

An aflame reader and free intellectual when he was young, Honoré worried about adjusting to the style of education of his grammar school. His spirited personality instigated perturb in his lifetime and hindered his dreams to be successful as a businessman. When he graduated, he became a trainee in a law firm, but he did not pursue his law studies after tiring out of its ruthlessness and prosaic work.
