20. Mai 1799 – 18. August 1850

Honoré de Balzac [ɔnɔ'ʁe d(ə) balˈzak] war ein französischer Schriftsteller. In den Literaturgeschichten wird er, obwohl er eigentlich zur Generation der Romantiker zählt, mit dem 16 Jahre älteren Stendhal und dem 22 Jahre jüngeren Gustave Flaubert als Dreigestirn der großen Realisten gesehen. Sein Hauptwerk ist der 88 Titel umfassende, aber unvollendete Romanzyklus La Comédie humaine (deutsch: Die menschliche Komödie), dessen Romane und Erzählungen ein Gesamtbild der Gesellschaft im Frankreich seiner Zeit zu zeichnen versuchen.
