Balzac's work offers a detailed exploration of post-Napoleonic French society through his extensive novel sequence, La Comédie humaine. Known for his realistic portrayal of characters, he crafts complex, morally ambiguous figures, making even minor characters feel fully developed. Inanimate objects and settings, particularly Paris, are given life and personality, enriching the narrative. His influential style has shaped the works of notable authors and filmmakers, marking him as a pivotal figure in the evolution of realism in literature.
