The novel sequence La Comédie humaine offers a vivid portrayal of post-Napoleonic French life, showcasing Balzac's mastery of realism through detailed observations and complex, morally ambiguous characters. Even minor figures are richly developed, while inanimate objects, particularly in Paris, are given human-like qualities. Balzac's influential style has left a lasting mark on notable writers and filmmakers, establishing him as a foundational figure in European literature.
