Who+is+Balzac?

​ Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. He is most well-known for his writing of nearly 100 novels and plays that present an overview of French life in the years after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. He loved romanticism and humanity but sought to depict human-kind through use of extreme particulars. Balzac created characters that represented a very wide range of social types and characterized them to not fully good nor fully evil, but rather fully human. His writings are considered to be full of both courage and strength of self but his writings are rarely regarded as "optimistic".

====One of the books that is mentioned within Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress is Balzac's Ursule Mirouet, an 1842 novel about a society which has no limitations of immorality or indecency because of the people's will to acquire wealth and influence.====
