Autorenporträt
Honoré de Balzac was a French author who lived from May 20, 1799, to August 18, 1850. Most people think of his collection of novels called La Comédie humaine as his most important work. It shows French life after Napoleon's death. Balzac is seen as one of the founders of realism in European writing because he paid close attention to details and wrote about society without any filters. He is known for giving his characters many sides. Even his less important characters are complicated, morally gray, and fully human. Things that aren't alive can also have personality. For example, the city of Paris, which he writes a lot about, takes on many human traits. Many great writers, like Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, and Henry James, were influenced by his work. So were filmmakers Francois Truffaut and Jacques Rivette. A lot of Balzac's books have been turned into movies, and they still influence other writers. It was James who said, "Really the father of us all." Throughout his life, Balzac had health problems, which may have been caused by how much he wrote. Financial and emotional problems often made it hard for him to get along with his family, and he lost more than one friend because of bad reviews.
