Balzac's work offers a vivid portrayal of post-Napoleonic French society through his monumental sequence, La Comédie humaine. His keen attention to detail and unvarnished depiction of life establish him as a pioneer of realism in literature. The complexity of his characters, including morally ambiguous figures and even inanimate objects, adds depth to his narratives. Paris itself is personified, enriching the backdrop of his stories. His influence extends to numerous acclaimed writers and filmmakers, showcasing his lasting impact on literature and art.
