Honoré de Balzac was born in 1799 in France. As a novelist and playwright, he is widely regarded as the founder of realism in European literature. His work had a profound effect on generations of writers who have followed him, from Proust to Dickens to Faulkner to Kerouac. He is best known for his La Comédie humaine, a multivolume collection of linked novels and stories. He died in 1850 in Paris at the age of fifty-one.
