Honoré de Balzac

    20. Mai 1799 – 18. August 1850

    Honoré de Balzac war ein französischer Romanautor und Dramatiker des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, dessen umfangreiches Werk ein Panorama des französischen Lebens in der Zeit nach dem Fall Napoleons Bonapartes darstellt. Aufgrund seiner scharfen Beobachtungsgabe und seiner unverblümten Darstellung der Gesellschaft gilt er als einer der Begründer des europäischen literarischen Realismus. Berühmt ist er für seine facettenreichen Charaktere, die komplex, moralisch ambivalent und zutiefst menschlich sind; sogar unbelebte Objekte und die Stadt Paris nehmen in seinen Werken menschliche Züge an. Sein Schreiben beeinflusste zahlreiche berühmte Autoren und inspiriert bis heute weitere Schriftsteller.
