Honoré de Balzac (20 May, 1799-18 August, 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie Humaine , which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature.
