The novel sequence La Comédie humaine offers a detailed exploration of post-Napoleonic French society through a realistic lens. Balzac's talent for creating complex, morally ambiguous characters, alongside anthropomorphizing inanimate objects, enriches the narrative. His portrayal of Paris as a living entity adds depth to the backdrop of his stories. As a pivotal figure in the development of realism, Balzac's influence extends to notable authors and filmmakers, marking him as a significant contributor to European literature.
