Über den Autor

Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850) stands among the foremost novelists of French literature, renowned for his comprehensive depiction of society that christened him as one of the founding fathers of realism in European literature. Born in Tours, France, Balzac's ambitious spirit was evident from his early years, though his initial forays into law and business were not met with success. Turning to writing, he published under various pseudonyms before achieving acclaim under his own name. Balzac's magnum opus, 'La Comédie Humaine', is a series of over 90 novels and short stories, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life. His meticulous observation of the minutiae of society and its functions is exemplified in works such as 'Petty Troubles of Married Life, First Part', wherein he scrutinizes the domestic sphere with a wry, satirical eye. Balzac's sharp characterization and dense descriptive layers have influenced a plethora of writers, from Marcel Proust to Charles Dickens. Furthermore, Balzac's narrative strategies and character recurrence across his oeuvre pioneered the concept of the literary series, influencing the soap operas and drama series of our contemporary age. His work is universally admired for its complexity, rich detail, and penetrating insight into the human condition—the very essence of realism that Balzac so diligently sought to depict in his writing.
